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

Was it to later to include in 3.11-rc5?
For me, this fix is important. I would like to so this patch in [all|recent] stable kernels quite soon. It is  an important element in my work for v6 multi-homed networks (IETF Homenet WG).
Thanks, Teco

OK, I went back to kernel where I had the ipv6 sadr lookup in cache problem.
There I patched the ip6_fib.c.
Patch works !!

The hang problem in 3.8.0-28 has lower priority for me. Maybe I'll check current -net-next later. Don't hold your breath.

Now this patch should go mainline and older kernels, I think.
What is the next step?

That already happend. Patch is queued up for inclusion in 3.11 and is sitting
in the stable queue:

Thanks for testing,
