<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e8dfd42c17faf183415323db1ef0c977be0d6489 ]

Instead of (struct rt6_info *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rt6_info(_ptr) \
         container_of_const(_ptr, struct rt6_info, dst)

Some places needed missing const qualifiers :

ip6_confirm_neigh(), ipv6_anycast_destination(),
ipv6_unicast_destination(), has_gateway()

v2: added missing parts (David Ahern)

<title>net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a separated list of routes.</title>

<content type='text'>
FIB6 GC walks trees of fib6_tables to remove expired routes. Walking a tree
can be expensive if the number of routes in a table is big, even if most of
them are permanent. Checking routes in a separated list of routes having
expiration will avoid this potential issue.

<title>net/ipv6: set expires in rt6_add_dflt_router().</title>

<id>urn:sha1:129e406e1811538c1afc9c8e97d61bb18eed3363</id>
<content type='text'>
Pass the duration of a lifetime (in seconds) to the function
rt6_add_dflt_router() so that it can properly set the expiration time.

The function ndisc_router_discovery() is the only one that calls
rt6_add_dflt_router(), and it will later set the expiration time for the
route created by rt6_add_dflt_router(). However, there is a gap of time
between calling rt6_add_dflt_router() and setting the expiration time in
ndisc_router_discovery(). During this period, there is a possibility that a
new route may be removed from the routing table. By setting the correct
expiration time in rt6_add_dflt_router(), we can prevent this from
happening. The reason for setting RTF_EXPIRES in rt6_add_dflt_router() is
to start the Garbage Collection (GC) timer, as it only activates when a
route with RTF_EXPIRES is added to a table.
