From: Panu Matilainen <pmatilai@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 49dd18ba4615eaa72f15c9087dea1c2ab4744cf5 ] Trying to add an unreachable route incorrectly returns -ESRCH if if custom FIB rules are present: [root@localhost ~]# ip route add 74.125.31.199 dev eth0 via 1.2.3.4 RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable [root@localhost ~]# ip rule add to 55.66.77.88 table 200 [root@localhost ~]# ip route add 74.125.31.199 dev eth0 via 1.2.3.4 RTNETLINK answers: No such process [root@localhost ~]# Commit 83886b6b636173b206f475929e58fac75c6f2446 ("[NET]: Change "not found" return value for rule lookup") changed fib_rules_lookup() to use -ESRCH as a "not found" code internally, but for user space it should be translated into -ENETUNREACH. Handle the translation centrally in ipv4-specific fib_lookup(), leaving the DECnet case alone. On a related note, commit b7a71b51ee37d919e4098cd961d59a883fd272d8 ("ipv4: removed redundant conditional") removed a similar translation from ip_route_input_slow() prematurely AIUI.
