[PATCH] net: ipv6: Do not consider link state for nexthop validation
From: David Ahern <hidden>
Date: 2016-10-24 19:27:30
Similar to IPv4, do not consider link state when validating next hops.
Currently, if the link is down default routes can fail to insert:
$ ip -6 ro add vrf blue default via 2100:2::64 dev eth2
RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
With this patch the command succeeds.
Fixes: 8c14586fc320 ("net: ipv6: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups")
