ipv6: Revert "ipv6: Allow non-gateway ECMP for IPv6"
This reverts commit edd7ceb78296 ("ipv6: Allow non-gateway ECMP for IPv6"). Eric reported a division by zero in rt6_multipath_rebalance() which is caused by above commit that considers identical local routes to be siblings. The division by zero happens because a nexthop weight is not set for local routes. Revert the commit as it does not fix a bug and has side effects. To reproduce: # ip -6 address add 2001:db8::1/64 dev dummy0 # ip -6 address add 2001:db8::1/64 dev dummy1 Fixes: edd7ceb78296 ("ipv6: Allow non-gateway ECMP for IPv6") Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reported-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Tested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
