Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] selftests: net: add test for IPv4 route with loopback IPv6 nexthop
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 11:13:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303031318.339716-3-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303031318.339716-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>
Add a regression test for a panic triggered when an IPv4 route
references a loopback IPv6 nexthop object. Without the fix, this
sequence causes a NULL pointer dereference in __mkroute_output()
because nhc_pcpu_rth_output is not allocated for the nexthop.
./fib_nexthops.sh
Tests passed: 249
Tests failed: 0
Tests skipped: 2
