hi,
I noticed by chance that taking down a network interface does not trigger notifications to RTMGRP_IPV4_ROUTE as well. here is a simple copy-paste patch against fib_hash.c to fix that. I didn't check IPv6 very carefully, but it seems that something similar would need to be added to fib6_ifdown as well.
cheers, John.
