This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ipv6: Continue processing multipath route even if gateway attribute is invalid to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ipv6-continue-processing-multipath-route-even-if-gat.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e97cd8382d5aaf3bf2486e1f94bdc11d9143e3a5 Author: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 3 10:19:11 2022 -0700 ipv6: Continue processing multipath route even if gateway attribute is invalid [ Upstream commit e30a845b0376eb51c9c94f56bbd53b2e08ba822f ] ip6_route_multipath_del loop continues processing the multipath attribute even if delete of a nexthop path fails. For consistency, do the same if the gateway attribute is invalid.
