Subject: [PATCH v3 net 2/2] ipv6: Don't remove permanent routes with exceptions from tb6_gc_hlist.
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 18:06:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309180804.3471287-3-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309180804.3471287-1-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.

Note that net->ipv6 is only compiled when CONFIG_IPV6 is
enabled, so fib6_{add,remove,may_remove}_gc_list() are guarded.

Fixes: 5eb902b8e719 ("net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a separated list of routes.")

v3: Use IS_ENABLED()
v2: Fix build failure when CONFIG_IPV6=n (no net->ipv6 definition)
