Re: [PATCH net v2 2/2] ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement

When replacing an IPv6 multipath route with "ip route replace", i.e.
NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_REPLACE, fib6_add_rt2node() replaces only first
matching route without fixing its siblings, resulting in corrupted
siblings linked list; removing one of the siblings can then end in an
infinite loop.

Replacing the whole set of nexthops does IMHO make more sense than
replacing a random one. We also need to remove the NLM_F_REPLACE flag
after replacing old nexthops by first new so that each subsequent
nexthop does not replace previous one.

Fixes: 51ebd3181572 ("ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath (ECMP)")

I wonder if we should not loop over the siblings list here (rt->rt6i_siblings).
Only routes that match 'rt6_qualify_for_ecmp()' are siblings.

Same here.
