ipv6: fix route selection if kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_…
…ROUTER_PREF This is a follow-up patch to 3630d40 ("ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available"). Since the removal of rt->n in rt6_info we can end up with a dst == NULL in rt6_check_neigh. In case the kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF we should also select a route with unkown NUD state but we must not avoid doing round robin selection on routes with the same target. So introduce and pass down a boolean ``do_rr'' to indicate when we should update rt->rr_ptr. As soon as no route is valid we do backtracking and do a lookup on a higher level in the fib trie. v2: a) Improved rt6_check_neigh logic (no need to create neighbour there) and documented return values. v3: a) Introduce enum rt6_nud_state to get rid of the magic numbers (thanks to David Miller). b) Update and shorten commit message a bit to actualy reflect the source.
