    ipv6: Default fib6_type to RTN_UNICAST when not set · c7036d97
    David Ahern authored
    A user reported that routes are getting installed with type 0 (RTN_UNSPEC)
    where before the routes were RTN_UNICAST. One example is from accel-ppp
    which apparently still uses the ioctl interface and does not set
    rtmsg_type. Another is the netlink interface where ipv6 does not require
    rtm_type to be set (v4 does). Prior to the commit in the Fixes tag the
    ipv6 stack converted type 0 to RTN_UNICAST, so restore that behavior.
    
    Fixes: e8478e80 ("net/ipv6: Save route type in rt6_info")
