Subject: [PATCH v2 net 2/2] ipv6: Don't remove permanent routes with exceptions from tb6_gc_hlist.
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 03:22:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308032304.1841198-3-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260308032304.1841198-1-kuniyu@google.com>
The cited commit mechanically put fib6_remove_gc_list()
just after every fib6_clean_expires() call.
When a temporary route is promoted to a permanent route,
there may already be exception routes tied to it.
If fib6_remove_gc_list() removes the route from tb6_gc_hlist,
such exception routes will no longer be aged.
Let's replace fib6_remove_gc_list() with a new helper
fib6_may_remove_gc_list() and use fib6_age_exceptions() there.
Fixes: 5eb902b8e719 ("net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a separated list of routes.")
