Ido Schimmel fc882fcff1 ipv6: Regenerate host route according to node pointer upon interface up
When an interface is brought back up, the kernel tries to restore the
host routes tied to its permanent addresses.

However, if the host route was removed from the FIB, then we need to
reinsert it. This is done by releasing the current dst and allocating a
new, so as to not reuse a dst with obsolete values.

Since this function is called under RTNL and using the same explanation
from the previous patch, we can test if the route is in the FIB by
checking its node pointer instead of its reference count.

Tested using the following script and Andrey's reproducer mentioned
in commit 8048ced9be ("net: ipv6: regenerate host route if moved to gc
list") and linked below:

$ ip link set dev lo up
$ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
$ ip -6 address add cafe::1/64 dev dummy1
$ ip link set dev lo down	# cafe::1/128 is removed
$ ip link set dev dummy1 up
$ ip link set dev lo up

The host route is correctly regenerated.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
