[PATCH] net: ipv6: check route protocol when deleting routes

From: Mantas MikulÄnas
Date: Fri Dec 16 2016 - 03:35:24 EST


The protocol field is checked when deleting IPv4 routes, but ignored for
IPv6, which causes problems with routing daemons accidentally deleting
externally set routes (observed by multiple bird6 users).

This can be verified using `ip -6 route del <prefix> proto something`.
