Add 'struct fib6_result' to hold the fib entry and fib6_nh from a fib lookup as separate entries, similar to what IPv4 now has with fib_result. Rename fib6_multipath_select to fib6_select_path, pass fib6_result to it, and set f6i and nh in the result once a path selection is done. Call fib6_select_path unconditionally for path selection which means moving the sibling and oif check to fib6_select_path. To handle the two different call paths (2 only call multipath_select if flowi6_oif == 0 and the other always calls it), add a new have_oif_match that controls the sibling walk if relevant. Update callers of fib6_multipath_select accordingly and have them use the fib6_info and fib6_nh from the result. This is needed for multipath nexthop objects where a single f6i can point to multiple fib6_nh (similar to IPv4). Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
