Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: ipv6: Allow shorthand delete of all nexthops in multipath route
IPv4 allows multipath routes to be deleted using just the prefix and
length. For example:
$ ip ro ls vrf red
unreachable default metric 8192
1.1.1.0/24
nexthop via 10.100.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1
nexthop via 10.11.200.2 dev eth11.200 weight 1
10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3
10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3
$ ip ro del 1.1.1.0/24 vrf red
$ ip ro ls vrf red
unreachable default metric 8192
10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3
10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3
The same notation does not work with IPv6 because of how multipath routes
are implemented for IPv6. For IPv6 only the first nexthop of a multipath
route is deleted if the request contains only a prefix and length. This
leads to unnecessary complexity in userspace dealing with IPv6 multipath
routes.
This patch allows all nexthops to be deleted without specifying each one
in the delete request by passing a new flag, RTM_F_ALL_NEXTHOPS, in
rtm_flags. Internally, this is done by walking the sibling list of the
route matching the specifications given (prefix, length, metric, protocol,
etc).
With this patch (and an updated iproute2 command):
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8::/120 via 2001:db8:1::62 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8::/120 via 2001:db8:1::61 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8::/120 via 2001:db8:1::60 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
...
$ ip -6 ro del vrf red 1111::1/120
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
...
The flag is added to fib6_config by converting fc_type to a u16 (as
noted fc_type only uses 8 bits). The new u16 hole is a bitmap with
fc_delete_all_nexthop as the first bit.

v2
- switched example to rfc 3849 documentation address per request
- changed delete loop to explicitly look at siblings list for
first route matching specs given (metric, protocol, etc)
