net: ipv6: Change notifications for multipath delete to RTA_MULTIPATH
If an entire multipath route is deleted using prefix and len (without any nexthops), send a single RTM_DELROUTE notification with the full route using RTA_MULTIPATH. This is done by generating the skb before the route delete when all of the sibling routes are still present but sending it after the route has been removed from the FIB. The skip_notify flag is used to tell the lower fib code not to send notifications for the individual nexthop routes. If a route is deleted using RTA_MULTIPATH for any nexthops or a single nexthop entry is deleted, then the nexthops are deleted one at a time with notifications sent as each hop is deleted. This is necessary given that IPv6 allows individual hops within a route to be deleted. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
