[ Upstream commit4d0ab3a688] Cited commit transitioned IPv6 path selection to use hash-threshold instead of modulo-N. With hash-threshold, each nexthop is assigned a region boundary in the multipath hash function's output space and a nexthop is chosen if the calculated hash is smaller than the nexthop's region boundary. Hash-threshold does not work correctly if path selection does not start with the first nexthop. For example, if fib6_select_path() is always passed the last nexthop in the group, then it will always be chosen because its region boundary covers the entire hash function's output space. Fix this by starting the selection process from the first nexthop and do not consider nexthops for which rt6_score_route() provided a negative score.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
