David S. Miller a80886e4e0 Merge branch 'ipv6-Move-exceptions-to-fib6_nh-and-make-it-optional-in-a-fib6_info'
David Ahern says:

====================
ipv6: Move exceptions to fib6_nh and make it optional in a fib6_info

Patches 1 and 4 move pcpu and exception caches from fib6_info to fib6_nh.
With respect to the current FIB entries this is only a movement from one
struct to another contained within the first.

Patch 2 refactors the core logic of fib6_drop_pcpu_from into a helper
that is invoked per fib6_nh.

Patch 3 refactors exception handling in a similar way - creating a bunch
of helpers that can be invoked per fib6_nh with the goal of making patch
4 easier to review as well as creating the code needed for nexthop
objects.

Patch 5 makes a fib6_nh at the end of a fib6_info an array similar to
IPv4 and its fib_info. For the current fib entry model, all fib6_info
will have a fib6_nh allocated for it.

Patch 6 refactors ip6_route_del moving the code for deleting an
exception entry into a new function.

Patch 7 adds tests for redirect route exceptions. The new test was
written against 5.1 (before any of the nexthop refactoring). It and the
pmtu.sh selftest exercise the exception code paths - from creating
exceptions to cleaning them up on device delete. All tests pass without
any rcu locking or memleak warnings.

README

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.
