When we modify the route metric, the peer address's route need also
be updated. Before the fix:
+ ip addr add dev dummy1 2001:db8::1 peer 2001:db8::2 metric 60
+ ip -6 route show dev dummy1
2001:db8::1 proto kernel metric 60 pref medium
2001:db8::2 proto kernel metric 60 pref medium
+ ip addr change dev dummy1 2001:db8::1 peer 2001:db8::2 metric 61
+ ip -6 route show dev dummy1
2001:db8::1 proto kernel metric 61 pref medium
2001:db8::2 proto kernel metric 60 pref medium
After the fix:
+ ip addr change dev dummy1 2001:db8::1 peer 2001:db8::2 metric 61
+ ip -6 route show dev dummy1
2001:db8::1 proto kernel metric 61 pref medium
2001:db8::2 proto kernel metric 61 pref medium

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.
