When an address is added on loopback (ip -6 a a 2002::1/128 dev lo), two routes are added: - one in the local table: local 2002::1 via :: dev lo proto none metric 0 - one the in main table (for the prefix): unreachable 2002::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 error -101 When the address is deleted, the route inserted in the main table remains because we use rt6_lookup(), which returns NULL when dst->error is set, which is the case here! Thus, it is better to use ip6_route_lookup() to avoid this kind of filter.

rt cant be NULL here ( but can be ip6_null_entry )
if (rt && addrconf_is_prefix_route(rt)) {So this condition is obsolete...
