This series adds a new RTM_F_FIB_MATCH flag to return matched fib result
with RTM_GETROUTE. This is useful for applications and protocols in
userspace wanting to query the selected route.

Looks good, series applied, thanks.

thank you.

Have you considered taking this further and allowing one to see which
nexthop a route lookup picked?

since the default RTM_GETROUTE output gives most of the attributes
from the resolved dst,
have not considered adding more to it yet...but certainly can if
needed in the future.

One extension is to pass in prefix and length (plus any options to such
as metric to uniquely discriminate a route) and get back the route
entry. It is needed to retrieve the BPF code for routes with a bpf
encap. This patch set makes it easier.
