Ido Schimmel d5082d386e ipv4: Fix route deletion when nexthop info is not specified
When the kernel receives a route deletion request from user space it
tries to delete a route that matches the route attributes specified in
the request.

If only prefix information is specified in the request, the kernel
should delete the first matching FIB alias regardless of its associated
FIB info. However, an error is currently returned when the FIB info is
backed by a nexthop object:

 # ip nexthop add id 1 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10
 # ip route add 198.51.100.0/24 nhid 1
 # ip route del 198.51.100.0/24
 RTNETLINK answers: No such process

Fix by matching on such a FIB info when legacy nexthop attributes are
not specified in the request. An earlier check already covers the case
where a nexthop ID is specified in the request.

Add tests that cover these flows. Before the fix:

 # ./fib_nexthops.sh -t ipv4_fcnal
 ...
 TEST: Delete route when not specifying nexthop attributes           [FAIL]

 Tests passed:  11
 Tests failed:   1

After the fix:

 # ./fib_nexthops.sh -t ipv4_fcnal
 ...
 TEST: Delete route when not specifying nexthop attributes           [ OK ]

 Tests passed:  12
 Tests failed:   0

No regressions in other tests:

 # ./fib_nexthops.sh
 ...
 Tests passed: 228
 Tests failed:   0

 # ./fib_tests.sh
 ...
 Tests passed: 186
 Tests failed:   0

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
