Ido Schimmel 3e66c16388 nexthop: Do not flush blackhole nexthops when loopback goes down
commit 76c03bf8e2624076b88d93542d78e22d5345c88e upstream.

As far as user space is concerned, blackhole nexthops do not have a
nexthop device and therefore should not be affected by the
administrative or carrier state of any netdev.

However, when the loopback netdev goes down all the blackhole nexthops
are flushed. This happens because internally the kernel associates
blackhole nexthops with the loopback netdev.

This behavior is both confusing to those not familiar with kernel
internals and also diverges from the legacy API where blackhole IPv4
routes are not flushed when the loopback netdev goes down:

 # ip route add blackhole 198.51.100.0/24
 # ip link set dev lo down
 # ip route show 198.51.100.0/24
 blackhole 198.51.100.0/24

Blackhole IPv6 routes are flushed, but at least user space knows that
they are associated with the loopback netdev:

 # ip -6 route show 2001:db8:1::/64
 blackhole 2001:db8:1::/64 dev lo metric 1024 pref medium

Fix this by only flushing blackhole nexthops when the loopback netdev is
unregistered.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
