From 94b5e0f970258828bf163b5ef076da4e4b0802e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2017 08:52:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv6: Set protocol to kernel for local routes IPv6 stack does not set the protocol for local routes, so those routes show up with proto "none": $ ip -6 ro ls table local local ::1 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium local 2100:3:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium local 2100:3::4 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium ... Set rt6i_protocol to RTPROT_KERNEL for consistency with IPv4. Now routes show up with proto "kernel": $ ip -6 ro ls table local local ::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 0 pref medium local 2100:3:: dev lo proto kernel metric 0 pref medium local 2100:3::4 dev lo proto kernel metric 0 pref medium local fe80:: dev lo proto kernel metric 0 pref medium ...
