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

Many excuses to send before adding text. Hitted wrong button.

I don't want to enforce something. Nor I want to spam. Nor I want to bypass. I just spend some cycles to get IPv6 with multi-homing work as designed. Subtrees was broken, maybe from day one. I'm glad there is progress.

I also do not want broken fixes in stable. I know what it is. As I posed, I had to deal with broken fixes when testing the subtree fix. I double checked the fix Hannes made, because Hannes asked me to do so. I'm in for doing more work here.

What can I do to make progress? Spam Linus?

Reaching past the maintainer of a subsystem is generally considered
extremely inconsiderate and rude.

I would suggest not doing something like that if you have any interest
whatsoever in working peacefully with me in the future.

It sounds like you don't want to use logical arguments to convince me
that this patch meets -stable criteria, and instead you would like to
simply force the issue.
