    mpls: Do not decrement alive counter for unregister events · 79099aab
    David Ahern authored
    Multipath routes can be rendered usesless when a device in one of the
    paths is deleted. For example:
    
    $ ip -f mpls ro ls
    100
    	nexthop as to 200 via inet 172.16.2.2  dev virt12
    	nexthop as to 300 via inet 172.16.3.2  dev br0
    101
    	nexthop as to 201 via inet6 2000:2::2  dev virt12
    	nexthop as to 301 via inet6 2000:3::2  dev br0
    
    $ ip li del br0
    
    When br0 is deleted the other hop is not considered in
    mpls_select_multipath because of the alive check -- rt_nhn_alive
    is 0.
    
    rt_nhn_alive is decremented once in mpls_ifdown when the device is taken
    down (NETDEV_DOWN) and again when it is deleted (NETDEV_UNREGISTER). For
    a 2 hop route, deleting one device drops the alive count to 0. Since
    devices are taken down before unregistering, the decrement on
    NETDEV_UNREGISTER is redundant.
