From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b7999b07726c16974ba9ca3bb9fe98ecbec5f81c ] In Jianlin's testing, netperf was broken with 'Connection reset by peer', as the cookie check failed in rt6_check() and ip6_dst_check() always returned NULL. It's caused by Commit 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes"), where the cookie can be got only when 'c1'(see below) for setting dst_cookie whereas rt6_check() is called when !'c1' for checking dst_cookie, as we can see in ip6_dst_check(). Since in ip6_dst_check() both rt6_dst_from_check() (c1) and rt6_check() (!c1) will check the 'from' cookie, this patch is to remove the c1 check in rt6_get_cookie(), so that the dst_cookie can always be set properly. c1: (rt->rt6i_flags & RTF_PCPU || unlikely(!list_empty(&rt->rt6i_uncached))) Fixes: 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes") Reported-by: Jianlin Shi <jishi@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
