I am sorry for the confuse. My previous change log of fix tag is a
wrong description for "PATCH net v2".

Current patch doesn't fix previous commit. It is more like missing
flush since the first commit 101367c2f8c4 of creating fib6_rules.c. Is
it OK to add this fix or omit fix tag?

Yes, I will update later in v4.

OK. I will follow the rule later.
