Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: ipv6: Improve user experience with multipath routes

This series closes a couple of gaps between IPv4 and IPv6 with respect
to multipath routes.

Patch 1 allows IPv6 multipath routes to be deleted using just the prefix
and length - similar to what IPv4 allows.

Patch 2 removes the nowait arg which is always 0.

Patch 3 allows IPv6 multipath routes to be returned encoded in the
RTA_MULTIPATH attribute as opposed to a series of single routes.

Backwards compatibility for both patch 1 and 3 is maintained by
requiring users to opt in to the new behavior via change in the
request sent to the kernel.

David Ahern (3):
  net: ipv6: Allow shorthand delete of all nexthops in multipath route
  net: ipv6: remove nowait arg to rt6_fill_node
  net: ipv6: Add option to dump multipath routes via RTA_MULTIPATH
    attribute
