Thanks for the report, but I can't reproduce this. Used your attached
config and booted a kernel with the HEAD you mentioned:

$ uname -r
5.2.0-rc5-01201-gd5382fef70ce

$ ./fib_tests.sh
...
Tests passed: 150
Tests failed:   0

Also tested: net, net-next, master

All look fine. Plus, I'm pretty sure I ran this test before initially
submitting the patchset.

Can you reliably reproduce these failures on current kernels or is this
some random failure you noticed while testing the mentioned commit?

Thanks
