I received the feedback today. The customer reported the patch moving update of ip6_rt_last_gc into fib6_run_gc() before the call of fib6_clean_all() was not sufficient to prevent the contention with their workload. So I suggest to return back to the approach I submitted originally but to move the update into fib6_run_gc() anyway so that every run of the garbage collector updates it. I will submit the patches tomorrow.
Fair enough.
