ipv6: fix ipv6_cow_metrics for non DST_HOST case
[ Upstream commit 3b4711757d7903ab6fa88a9e7ab8901b8227da60 ] ipv6_cow_metrics() currently assumes only DST_HOST routes require dynamic metrics allocation from inetpeer. The assumption breaks when ndisc discovered router with RTAX_MTU and RTAX_HOPLIMIT metric. Refer to ndisc_router_discovery() in ndisc.c and note that dst_metric_set() is called after the route is created. This patch creates the metrics array (by calling dst_cow_metrics_generic) in ipv6_cow_metrics(). Test: radvd.conf: interface qemubr0 { AdvLinkMTU 1300; AdvCurHopLimit 30; prefix fd00:face:face:face::/64 { AdvOnLink on; AdvAutonomous on; AdvRouterAddr off; }; }; Before: [root@qemu1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep -v unreachable fd00:face:face:face::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 27sec fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 default via fe80::74df:d0ff:fe23:8ef2 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 27sec After: [root@qemu1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep -v unreachable fd00:face:face:face::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 27sec mtu 1300 fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1300 default via fe80::74df:d0ff:fe23:8ef2 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 27sec mtu 1300 hoplimit 30 Fixes: 8e2ec639173f325 (ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.)
