From c7036d97acd2527cef145b5ef9ad1a37ed21bbe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 10:50:24 -0700 Subject: ipv6: Default fib6_type to RTN_UNICAST when not set A user reported that routes are getting installed with type 0 (RTN_UNSPEC) where before the routes were RTN_UNICAST. One example is from accel-ppp which apparently still uses the ioctl interface and does not set rtmsg_type. Another is the netlink interface where ipv6 does not require rtm_type to be set (v4 does). Prior to the commit in the Fixes tag the ipv6 stack converted type 0 to RTN_UNICAST, so restore that behavior.
