From: Florian Westphal Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 08:54:28 +0000 (+0200) Subject: ipv6: don't reject link-local nexthop on other interface X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=330567b71d8716704b189454553c2696e1eceb6c;p=linux-beck.git ipv6: don't reject link-local nexthop on other interface 48ed7b26faa7 ("ipv6: reject locally assigned nexthop addresses") is too strict; it rejects following corner-case: ip -6 route add default via fe80::1:2:3 dev eth1 [ where fe80::1:2:3 is assigned to a local interface, but not eth1 ] Fix this by restricting search to given device if nh is linklocal.
