    ipv6: Allow routes to use nexthop objects · 5b98324e
    David Ahern authored
    Add support for RTA_NH_ID attribute to allow a user to specify a
    nexthop id to use with a route. fc_nh_id is added to fib6_config to
    hold the value passed in the RTA_NH_ID attribute. If a nexthop id
    is given, the gateway, device, encap and multipath attributes can
    not be set.
    
    Update ip6_route_del to check metric and protocol before nexthop
    specs. If fc_nh_id is set, then it must match the id in the route
    entry. Since IPv6 allows delete of a cached entry (an exception),
    add ip6_del_cached_rt_nh to cycle through all of the fib6_nh in
    a fib entry if it is using a nexthop.
