The idea is to move the check into dst->ops->ifdown. By definition
ipv6_dst_ifdown will only see rt6_info entries. So dst_dev_event
will become
for (dst = dst_garbage_list; dst; dst = dst->next) {
dst_ifdown(dst, event != NETDEV_DOWN);
}
dst_ifdown will become
...
do {
if (dst->dev == dev && unregister) {
...
}
dst->ops->ifdown(dst, dev, unregister);
} while ((dst = dst->child) && dst->flags & DST_NOHASH);
...
Note the extra dev argument to ifdown. ipv6_dst_ifdown will be
static void ip6_dst_ifdown(struct dst_entry *dst, struct net_device *dev,
int how)
{
struct rt6_info *rt = (struct rt6_info *)dst;
struct inet6_dev *idev = rt->rt6i_idev;
if (idev != NULL && idev->dev != &loopback_dev && idev->dev == dev) {
struct inet6_dev *loopback_idev = in6_dev_get(&loopback_dev);
if (loopback_idev != NULL) {
rt->rt6i_idev = loopback_idev;
in6_dev_put(idev);
}
}
}
Cheers,
