The only thing this breaks is adding IPv6 routes via ioctl. Previously they would be automatically appended to form multipath routes but this no longer occurs. Changing to netlink or use iproute2 and using NLM_F_APPEND gets around this. This basically what David Ahern said earlier but I wanted to make it clear the default ioctl behaviour has changed. ________________________________________ From: David Ahern <[email protected]> Sent: 23 May 2018 08:44 To: David Miller; [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; Thomas Winter; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 0/7] net/ipv6: Fix route append and replace use cases

I have to try the best option first. I'll look at regressions if they happen.
