nexthop: Bounce NHA_GATEWAY in FDB nexthop groups
The function nh_check_attr_group() is called to validate nexthop groups. The intention of that code seems to have been to bounce all attributes above NHA_GROUP_TYPE except for NHA_FDB. However instead it bounces all these attributes except when NHA_FDB attribute is present--then it accepts them. NHA_FDB validation that takes place before, in rtm_to_nh_config(), already bounces NHA_OIF, NHA_BLACKHOLE, NHA_ENCAP and NHA_ENCAP_TYPE. Yet further back, NHA_GROUPS and NHA_MASTER are bounced unconditionally. But that still leaves NHA_GATEWAY as an attribute that would be accepted in FDB nexthop groups (with no meaning), so long as it keeps the address family as unspecified: # ip nexthop add id 1 fdb via 127.0.0.1 # ip nexthop add id 10 fdb via default group 1 The nexthop code is still relatively new and likely not used very broadly, and the FDB bits are newer still. Even though there is a reproducer out there, it relies on an improbable gateway arguments "via default", "via all" or "via any". Given all this, I believe it is OK to reformulate the condition to do the right thing and bounce NHA_GATEWAY.
