This series closes a couple of gaps between IPv4 and IPv6 with respect
to multipath routes.
Patch 1 allows IPv6 multipath routes to be deleted using just the prefix
and length - similar to what IPv4 allows.
Patch 2 removes the nowait arg which is always 0.
Patch 3 allows IPv6 multipath routes to be returned encoded in the
RTA_MULTIPATH attribute as opposed to a series of single routes.
Backwards compatibility for both patch 1 and 3 is maintained by
requiring users to opt in to the new behavior via change in the
request sent to the kernel.
David Ahern (3):
net: ipv6: Allow shorthand delete of all nexthops in multipath route
net: ipv6: remove nowait arg to rt6_fill_node
net: ipv6: Add option to dump multipath routes via RTA_MULTIPATH
