    ipv6: make ECMP route replacement less greedy · 4a8d3bb7

    [ Upstream commit 67e19400 ]
    
    Commit 27596472 ("ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement") introduced a
    loop that removes all siblings of an ECMP route that is being
    replaced. However, this loop doesn't stop when it has replaced
    siblings, and keeps removing other routes with a higher metric.
    We also end up triggering the WARN_ON after the loop, because after
    this nsiblings < 0.
    
    Instead, stop the loop when we have taken care of all routes with the
    same metric as the route being replaced.
    
      Reproducer:
      ===========
        #!/bin/sh
    
        ip netns add ns1
        ip netns add ns2
        ip -net ns1 link set lo up
    
        for x in 0 1 2 ; do
            ip link add veth$x netns ns2 type veth peer name eth$x netns ns1
            ip -net ns1 link set eth$x up
            ip -net ns2 link set veth$x up
        done
    
        ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::0 dev eth0 \
                nexthop via fe80::1 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev eth2
        ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::42 dev eth0 metric 256
        ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::43 dev eth0 metric 2048
    
        echo "before replace, 3 routes"
        ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00'
        echo
    
        ip -net ns1 -6 r c 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::4 dev eth0 \
                nexthop via fe80::5 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::6 dev eth2
    
        echo "after replace, only 2 routes, metric 2048 is gone"
        ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00'
