net: ipv6: Do not consider link state for nexthop validation
Similar to IPv4, do not consider link state when validating next hops. Currently, if the link is down default routes can fail to insert: $ ip -6 ro add vrf blue default via 2100:2::64 dev eth2 RTNETLINK answers: No route to host With this patch the command succeeds. Fixes: 8c14586fc320 ("net: ipv6: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups") Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
