Subject: [70/75] ipv6: Check dest prefix length on original route not copied one in rt6_alloc_cow().

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>

[ Upstream commit bb3c36863e8001fc21a88bebfdead4da4c23e848 ]

After commit 8e2ec639173f325977818c45011ee176ef2b11f6 ("ipv6: don't
use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.") the test in rt6_alloc_cow()
for setting the ANYCAST flag is now wrong.

'rt' will always now have a plen of 128, because it is set explicitly
to 128 by ip6_rt_copy.

So to restore the semantics of the test, check the destination prefix
length of 'ort'.
