Unlike IPv4, in IPv6 there is no unique structure to represent the nexthop and both the route and nexthop information are squashed to the same structure ('struct fib6_info'). In order to improve resource utilization the driver consolidates identical nexthop groups to the same internal representation of a nexthop group. Therefore, when the offload indication of a nexthop changes, the driver needs to iterate over all the linked fib6_info and toggle their offload flag accordingly. During abort, all the routes are removed from the device and unlinked from their nexthop group. The offload indication is cleared just before the group is destroyed, but by that time no fib6_info is linked to the group and the offload indication remains set. Fix this by clearing the offload indication just before dropping the reference from the nexthop.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
