David Ahern says: ==================== ipv6: Refactor nexthop selection helpers during a fib lookup IPv6 has a fib6_nh embedded within each fib6_info and a separate fib6_info for each path in a multipath route. A side effect is that a fib6_info is passed all the way down the stack when selecting a path on a fib lookup. Refactor the fib lookup functions and associated helper functions to take a fib6_nh when appropriate to enable IPv6 to work with nexthop objects where the fib6_nh is not directly part of a fib entry. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
