There are various problems related to netlink notifications for mpls route
changes in response to interfaces being deleted:
* delete interface of only nexthop
DELROUTE notification is missing RTA_OIF attribute
* delete interface of non-last nexthop
NEWROUTE notification is missing entirely
* delete interface of last nexthop
DELROUTE notification is missing nexthop
All of these problems stem from the fact that existing routes are modified
in-place before sending a notification. Restructure mpls_ifdown() to avoid
changing the route in the DELROUTE cases and to create a copy in the
NEWROUTE case.
Fixes: f8efb73c97 ("mpls: multipath route support")

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.
