From 330567b71d8716704b189454553c2696e1eceb6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 10:54:28 +0200 Subject: ipv6: don't reject link-local nexthop on other interface 48ed7b26faa7 ("ipv6: reject locally assigned nexthop addresses") is too strict; it rejects following corner-case: ip -6 route add default via fe80::1:2:3 dev eth1 [ where fe80::1:2:3 is assigned to a local interface, but not eth1 ] Fix this by restricting search to given device if nh is linklocal.
