Subject: Re: [PATCH net] ipv6: don't stop backtracking in fib6_lookup_1 if subtree does not match

Many excuses to send before adding text. Hitted wrong button.

I don't want to enforce something. Nor I want to spam. Nor I want to bypass. I just spend some cycles to get IPv6 with multi-homing work as designed. Subtrees was broken, maybe from day one. I'm glad there is progress.

I also do not want broken fixes in stable. I know what it is. As I posed, I had to deal with broken fixes when testing the subtree fix. I double checked the fix Hannes made, because Hannes asked me to do so. I'm in for doing more work here.
