net: ipv6: Set protocol to kernel for local routes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
IPv6 stack does not set the protocol for local routes, so those routes show
up with proto "none":
    $ ip -6 ro ls table local
    local ::1 dev lo proto none metric 0  pref medium
    local 2100:3:: dev lo proto none metric 0  pref medium
    local 2100:3::4 dev lo proto none metric 0  pref medium
    local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0  pref medium
    ...

Set rt6i_protocol to RTPROT_KERNEL for consistency with IPv4. Now routes
show up with proto "kernel":
    $ ip -6 ro ls table local
    local ::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 0  pref medium
    local 2100:3:: dev lo proto kernel metric 0  pref medium
    local 2100:3::4 dev lo proto kernel metric 0  pref medium
    local fe80:: dev lo proto kernel metric 0  pref medium
    ...
