From b0a1ba59921eaaa9cb8f97bb35f2e6870fcdfedc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin KaFai Lau Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 19:16:02 -0800 Subject: ipv6: Fix __ip6_route_redirect In my last commit (a3c00e4: ipv6: Remove BACKTRACK macro), the changes in __ip6_route_redirect is incorrect. The following case is missed: 1. The for loop tries to find a valid gateway rt. If it fails to find one, rt will be NULL. 2. When rt is NULL, it is set to the ip6_null_entry. 3. The newly added 'else if', from a3c00e4, will stop the backtrack from happening. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S.
