In ip6_route_multipath_add(), we call rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() for each entry. If it returns false, the request fails. rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() returns false if either of the conditions below is true: 1. f6i->fib6_flags has RTF_ADDRCONF 2. f6i->nh is not NULL 3. f6i->fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family is AF_UNSPEC 1 is unnecessary because rtm_to_fib6_config() never sets RTF_ADDRCONF to cfg->fc_flags. 2. is equivalent with cfg->fc_nh_id. 3. can be replaced by checking RTF_GATEWAY in the base and each multipath entry because AF_INET6 is set to f6i->fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family only when cfg.fc_is_fdb is true or RTF_GATEWAY is set, but the former is always false. These checks do not require RCU and can be done earlier. Let's perform the equivalent checks in rtm_to_fib6_multipath_config().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
