5 daysipv6: Protect multiple routes insertion by table lock.Kuniyuki Iwashima
syzbot reported the warning below. [0] While call_fib6_multipath_entry_notifiers() is called locklessly, fib6_siblings could be changed concurrently, leading to the warning (and later null-ptr-deref). Let's protect multiple routes insertion with tb6_lock. Along with that, __ip6_ins_rt() and ip6_route_del() are changed to fib6_add() and fib6_del(). Note that fib6_del() finally calls rt6_multipath_rebalance(), which requires rcu_read_lock().

5 daysRevert "net: advertise TCP MSS from the configured MTU, not the learned PMTU"Yongjian Wang
This reverts commit 2640e6419594 ("net: advertise TCP MSS from the configured MTU, not the learned PMTU"). That commit stopped the learned PMTU from lowering the MSS we advertise in SYN and SYN-ACK. For symmetric paths it argued that "the peer runs its own PMTU discovery and usually already knows the real path MTU". That only holds if ICMP "fragmentation needed" can reach the peer. When the peer sits behind a firewall that drops inbound ICMP, its PMTU discovery is a black hole (RFC 2923, section 2.1), and the smaller MSS we advertised was the only thing keeping its full-size segments off the narrow hop. Inbound ICMP filtering is very common in enterprise and carrier networks, and it is pervasive in mainland China. We hit this in production after the commit was backported to 6.12.111: TCP connections that reach a server through a relay with a smaller-MTU hop complete the handshake, then stall as soon as the client sends full-size segments. Clients on networks that let ICMP through, and connections that bypass the relay, are unaffected, which made it hard to trace back to the kernel. Reproducer, network namespaces on a single host: cli --(1500)-- r1 --(1456)-- r2 --(1500)-- srv r1 drops ICMP frag-needed towards cli. srv has already learned PMTU 1456 towards cli, then cli uploads 1 MB to srv: kernel SYN-ACK MSS 1 MB upload 6.12.107 1416 OK 6.12.111 1460 stalls, times out 7.3-rc7 1460 stalls, times out 7.3-rc7 + this revert 1416 OK The asymmetric case the commit was written for does not need a new default: the advertised MSS can already be set per route with the advmss metric, which takes precedence over default_advmss(). With this revert applied, on an asymmetric path where srv learned PMTU 1456 towards cli while cli->srv is 1500 end to end: srv route to cli SYN-ACK MSS largest cli->srv segment default 1416 1404 advmss 1460 1460 1448 So DSR-style setups can opt in with "ip route ... advmss <mss>", while hosts whose peers cannot complete PMTU discovery keep working by default.

13 daysipv6: Hold RCU when emitting route hardware flags notificationIdo Schimmel
fib6_info_hw_flags_set() is called by drivers from process context without RTNL or RCU. When the route uses a nexthop object, rt6_nlmsg_size() and rt6_fill_node() access the nexthop's RCU protected nexthop info and group pointers via rcu_dereference_rtnl(), resulting in suspicious RCU usage splats [1]. Fix by holding RCU while sizing and filling the notification, like fib_alias_hw_flags_set() already does. Switch to GFP_ATOMIC for the skb allocation accordingly.

13 daysipv6: account route exceptions to the netns of their dstEric Dumazet
rt6_insert_exception() and rt6_remove_exception() update rt6_stats->fib_rt_cache of dev_net(rt6i->dst.dev), but the device of an exception dst can move to another netns while the exception is still in its bucket. This happens when the bucket is flushed from an RCU callback, for instance from nexthop_free_rcu() for the nh_info of a replaced nexthop, whose exceptions still point to live routes. If the device moves to another netns before that callback runs, the decrement hits the other netns, whose u32 counter underflows in /proc/net/rt6_stats, while the counter of the original netns never goes back down. Account exceptions to the netns their dst was allocated in, derived from dst->ops as ip6_dst_gc() already does, which does not depend on the device. The dst already relies on that netns' ip6_dst_ops being alive when it is destroyed, which happens after the exception is removed.

2026-10-08ipv6: do not warn on route notification size raceDaehyeon Ko
fib6_info_hw_flags_set() sizes the skb with rt6_nlmsg_size() and later fills it with rt6_fill_node(). With nexthop compatibility mode enabled, a concurrent replacement can grow the group between these independent snapshots. rt6_fill_node() can then legitimately return -EMSGSIZE, so the warning does not prove a sizing bug. Remove the warning. The existing error path still frees the skb and reports the error to listeners.

2026-10-07ipv6: Use ipv6_neigh_lookup() and friends.Kuniyuki Iwashima
syzbot reported the splat below in neigh_mark_dead() [0] where tbl->lock was not held while neigh_ifdown() should have acquired one. This only happens when a neigh_table accidentally has a neighbour from a different netns. In ip6_finish_output2(), the net argument is the caller's and does not always match dev_net(dev) fetched from dst. (e.g. xfrm) It is error-prone to require callers to fetch netns and neigh_table and pass it with dev to neigh_lookup(), etc. Let's replace neigh_lookup() and friends with IPv6 helpers.

2026-10-06ipv6: Batch rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() in netdev_run_todo().Kuniyuki Iwashima
IPv6 uncached routes are linked to the global per-cpu lists, rt6_uncached_list. When unregistering a netdev, rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() iterates over the potentially long lists to find uncached routes tied to the device and swap it with blackhole_netdev. Since it is called for every device in dying netns under RTNL, it adds O(N_dev x (N_cpu + N_route)) costs to any batched device unregistration. Let's call it once per batched device unregistration without RTNL. Because it now runs without RTNL, rt->dst.dev and rt->rt6i_idev->dev may transition to NETREG_UNREGISTERED at different times. Thus, we must check that both devices are blackhole_netdev before unlinking the route; otherwise, the remaining device reference would not be flushed when the other device is unregistered. In addition, since netdev_run_todo() runs even when IPv6 is disabled, rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() must check ipv6_mod_enabled() before touching rt6_uncached_list. Note also that netdev_run_todo() cannot be called before rt6_uncached_list is initialised because: 1. unregister_netdevice_many_notify() panics when dev_boot_phase == 1 (net_dev_init() is subsys_initcall()). 2. the only device registered before fs_initcall_sync() is loopback and loopback_net_init() panics in case of failure.

2026-09-21ipv6: Fix dst leak for uncached routes.Kuniyuki Iwashima
ip6_route_output_flags(), ip6_rt_put_flags(), and ip6_dst_check() detect an uncached route by list_empty(&rt->dst.rt_uncached), which replaced the static DST_NOCACHE flag check in commit a4c2fd7f7891 ("net: remove DST_NOCACHE flag"). When a device is unregistered, rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() unlinks uncached routes tied to the device from rt6_uncached_list. Previously, they were moved to another list with list_move() (__list_del_entry() + list_add()), and since commit 98aa546af5e4 ("inet: remove (struct uncached_list)->quarantine"), the routes are just unlinked with list_del_init(). If list_del_init() runs concurrently, list_empty() evaluates to true; ip6_route_output_flags() calls dst_hold_safe() incorrectly and ip6_rt_put_flags() skips ip6_rt_put(), leaking dst, and thus dev tied via rt->from as well. The same race is partially fixed by commit 9a6f0c4d5796 ("dst: fix races in rt6_uncached_list_del() and rt_del_uncached_list()"). Let's check rt6->dst.rt_uncached_list instead.

2026-09-21ipv6: Prevent rt6_insert_exception() for dying fib6_info.Kuniyuki Iwashima
Before the cited commit, fib6_nh_flush_exceptions() always set from->exception_bucket_flushed = 1 under rt6_exception_lock to prevent rt6_insert_exception() from inserting a new exception for a dying fib6_info. The flag was replaced with the FIB6_EXCEPTION_BUCKET_FLUSHED bit stored in nh->rt6i_exception_bucket. The problem is that now the bit is only set when the bucket is not NULL and fib6_nh_flush_exceptions() is called from fib6_nh_release() after fib6_ref has already reached zero. If rt6_insert_exception() is called while the target fib6_info is being removed via fib6_purge_rt(), a new exception could be created successfully because rt6_flush_exceptions() no longer sets the bit. This creates a reference cycle between the fib6_info and the exception route, leaking the fib6_info, its nexthop device, and all per-CPU routes in fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu, which stalls netdev unregistration.

2026-09-08ipv6: null-check fib6_node before accessing in __ip6_del_rt_siblings()Naman Gulati
syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in __ip6_del_rt_siblings() [0]. The stack trace hinted towards a null dereference of rt->fib6_node when fn->leaf is accessed in __ip6_del_rt_siblings(). With RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED set, inet6_rtm_delroute() operations run concurrently without acquiring the RTNL lock. In ip6_route_del(), the route lookup happens under rcu_read_lock() without acquiring table->tb6_lock. Between ip6_route_del() looking up the route and __ip6_del_rt_siblings() acquiring table->tb6_lock, another thread can modify the routing table. For example, when an ECMP route is replaced via RTM_NEWROUTE with NLM_F_REPLACE, fib6_add_rt2node() unlinks all old siblings and sets iter->fib6_node = NULL. A reproducer was found that triggers this [1]. Add a check to ensure rt->fib6_node is non-null before accessing it.

2026-08-31ipv6: Fix redirect exception creation for UDP/RAW socketsIdo Schimmel
When an ICMP Redirect Message is matched to a socket, both IPv4 and IPv6 verify that the source IP of the ICMP packet is the current gateway for the quoted packet. Both also pass the socket's bound device as the expected nexthop device. The difference is that IPv4 treats "oif=0" as "any", whereas IPv6 always requires an exact match (see ip6_redirect_nh_match()), since the gateway address is usually a link-local address. Therefore, when an IPv6 UDP/RAW socket is not bound to a device, the above verification fails and an exception is not created. This also happens when the socket is bound to a VRF, as l3mdev_update_flow() resets the oif to 0. Fix this by passing the ifindex of the ingress device as the expected nexthop device. This is consistent with the existing callers of ip6_redirect(). Note that for ICMPv6 Redirect Message packets the VRF driver does not reset skb->dev to the VRF device, so skb->dev is correct, even when it is a VRF port.

2026-08-20net: advertise TCP MSS from the configured MTU, not the learned PMTUJiayuan Chen
The MSS a host puts in its SYN tells the peer how big a segment it may send us. Right now we can shrink it with a PMTU we learned on our own send path, which is the wrong direction entirely. On asymmetric paths this bites - think DSR load balancers, where the request side goes through a smaller-MTU overlay. We learn a small PMTU going out, then advertise a small MSS, and the peer stays capped for the whole connection even though its path back to us is wide. MSS only shows up in the SYN and never grows back. On symmetric paths we lose nothing by dropping it either: the peer runs its own PMTU discovery and usually already knows the real path MTU. So work out the advertised MSS from the configured route or device MTU and ignore the learned PMTU. Our send side is unchanged, still clamped by tcp_current_mss(). Add ip_dst_mtu_configured()/ip6_dst_mtu_configured() and use them from the two default_advmss() paths.

2026-08-03ipv6: fix Route Information option length validationYuejie Shi
rt6_route_rcv() validates the Route Information option (RFC 4191) length against the prefix length, but both checks are off by one. rinfo->length is the ND option length in units of 8 octets and it *includes* the 8-byte option header, so an option carrying N bytes of prefix has length == 1 + N/8. RFC 4191 section 2.3 requires length 3 when Prefix Length is greater than 64, and 2 or 3 when it is greater than 0. The code accepts length >= 2 and length >= 1 respectively. ipv6_addr_prefix() then copies prefix_len/8 bytes out of rinfo->prefix, so a Router Advertisement with (prefix_len=128, length=2) or (prefix_len=64, length=1) makes the kernel read up to 8 bytes past the end of the option. Those bytes end up in the prefix of the route that gets installed, so they are visible to userspace: # RA with a Route Information option (prefix_len=128, length=2) # followed by a source link-layer address option, 01 01 de ad be ef ca fe $ ip -6 route show 2001:db8:dead:beef:101:dead:beef:cafe via fe80::1234 dev veth0 proto ra ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the next option, read out of bounds When the Route Information option is the last one in the packet, those eight bytes come from the skb tail room instead. Reject the option lengths RFC 4191 does not allow. Fixes: 70ceb4f53929 ("[IPV6]: ROUTE: Add experimental support for Route Information Option in RA (RFC4191).")

Fix this by changing the allocation flag of rtnl_notify. Also change the flag passed to nlmsg_new.

2026-06-22ipv6: Fix null-ptr-deref in fib6_nh_mtu_change().Xiang Mei
fib6_nh_mtu_change() re-fetches idev via __in6_dev_get(arg->dev) and dereferences idev->cnf.mtu6 without a NULL check. addrconf_ifdown() clears dev->ip6_ptr with RCU_INIT_POINTER() after rt6_disable_ip() has released tb6_lock, so the RA-driven MTU walk can observe a NULL idev and oops. The caller rt6_mtu_change_route() guards its own __in6_dev_get(), but this re-fetch is unguarded; nexthop-backed routes survive addrconf_ifdown()'s flush, so the walk still reaches it after ip6_ptr is nulled.

2026-06-15tcp: ipv6: clamp default adverting MSS to avoid GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xFFFF)Eric Dumazet
When MTU is large, ip6_default_advmss() can return IPV6_MAXPLEN (65535). This is interpreted by TCP as mss_clamp, allowing the MSS to reach 65535. However, 0xFFFF is also used as a magic value GSO_BY_FRAGS in the kernel. If a TCP packet with gso_size=0xFFFF is passed to skb_segment(), it will be mistakenly treated as GSO_BY_FRAGS, leading to a NULL pointer dereference because local TCP packets do not use frag_list. Fix this by returning min(IPV6_MAXPLEN, GSO_BY_FRAGS - 1) (65534) from ip6_default_advmss() when MTU is large. Also update the stale comment in ip6_default_advmss() which suggested that IPV6_MAXPLEN is returned to mean "any MSS".

2026-06-12ipv6: Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated trafficIdo Schimmel
Commit 741a11d9e410 ("net: ipv6: Add RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag if oif is set") made the kernel honor the oif parameter when specified as part of output route lookup: # ip route add 2001:db8:1::/64 dev dummy1 # ip route add ::/0 dev dummy2 # ip route get 2001:db8:1::1 oif dummy2 fibmatch default dev dummy2 metric 1024 pref medium Due to regression reports, the behavior was partially reverted in commit d46a9d678e4c ("net: ipv6: Dont add RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag if saddr set") to only honor the oif if source address is not specified: # ip route get 2001:db8:1::1 from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2 fibmatch 2001:db8:1::/64 dev dummy1 metric 1024 pref medium That is, when source address is specified, the kernel will choose the most specific route even if its nexthop device does not match the specified oif. This creates a problem for multipath routes. After looking up a route, when source address is not specified, the kernel will choose a nexthop whose nexthop device matches the specified oif: # sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev dummy2 # for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy2 But will disregard the oif when source address is specified despite the fact that a matching nexthop exists: # for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 53 dummy1 47 dummy2 This behavior differs from IPv4: # ip address add 192.0.2.1/32 dev lo # ip route add 198.51.100.0/24 nexthop via inet6 fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via inet6 fe80::2 dev dummy2 # for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 198.51.100.${i} from 192.0.2.1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy2 What happens is that fib6_table_lookup() returns a route with a matching nexthop device (assuming it exists): # perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done > /dev/null" # perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy2 But it is later overwritten during path selection in fib6_select_path() which instead chooses a nexthop according to the calculated hash. Solve this by telling fib6_select_path() to skip path selection if we have an oif match during output route lookup (iif being LOOPBACK_IFINDEX). Behavior after the change: # sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev dummy2 # for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy2 Note that enabling forwarding is only needed because we did not add neighbor entries for the gateway addresses. When forwarding is disabled and CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is not enabled in kernel config, the kernel will treat non-existing neighbor entries as errors and perform round-robin between the nexthops: # sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=0 # for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 50 dummy1 50 dummy2 Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260611154605.992528-3-idosch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2026-06-12ipv6: Select best matching nexthop object in fib6_table_lookup()Ido Schimmel
Currently, when using multipath routes without nexthop objects, fib6_table_lookup() selects the nexthop with the highest score. This means that when both a source address and an oif are specified, the nexthop that is chosen is the one that matches in terms of oif: # sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 # ip address add 2001:db8:2::1/64 dev lo # ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev dummy2 # perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy1; done > /dev/null" # perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy1 # perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done > /dev/null" # perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy2 When using nexthop objects, fib6_table_lookup() selects the first matching nexthop and not necessarily the one with the highest score: # ip nexthop add id 1 via fe80::1 dev dummy1 # ip nexthop add id 2 via fe80::2 dev dummy2 # ip nexthop add id 3 group 1/2 # ip route add 2001:db8:20::/64 nhid 3 # perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:20::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy1; done > /dev/null" # perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy1 # perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:20::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done > /dev/null" # perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c 100 dummy1 This is not very significant right now because the nexthop is later overwritten during path selection in fib6_select_path(). However, the next patch is going to skip path selection when we have an oif match during output route lookup. As a preparation for this change, align the nexthop object behavior with the legacy one and make sure that fib6_table_lookup() always selects the best matching nexthop. Do that by always returning 0 from rt6_nh_find_match() in order not to terminate the loop in nexthop_for_each_fib6_nh() and storing in arg->nh the best matching nexthop so far.

2026-05-21ipv6: route: Unregister netdevice notifier on BPF init failureYuho Choi
ip6_route_init() registers ip6_route_dev_notifier before registering the IPv6 route BPF iterator target. If bpf_iter_register() fails after the notifier has been registered, the error path currently jumps to out_register_late_subsys and unwinds the RTNL handlers and pernet route state without removing the notifier from the netdevice notifier chain.

2026-05-01ipv6: update route serial number on NETDEV_CHANGESagarika Sharma
When using IPv6 ECMP routes, if a netdev listed as a nexthop experiences a carrier change event (e.g., a bond device generating a NETDEV_CHANGE event after its slaves go linkdown), established connections utilizing that nexthop fail to fail over to other available nexthops. Instead, these connections stall or drop. This happens because the IPv6 FIB code does not invalidate the socket's cached destination when a NETDEV_CHANGE event occurs. While fib6_ifdown() correctly marks the nexthop with RTNH_F_LINKDOWN, it leaves the route's serial number unchanged. As a result, sockets with a previously cached dst do not realize the route is no longer viable and continue to try using the non-functional nexthop. This behavior contrasts with IPv4, which actively flushes cached destinations on a NETDEV_CHANGE event (see fib_netdev_event() in net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c). Fix this by updating the route serial number in fib6_ifdown() when setting RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. This invalidates stale cached destinations, forcing sockets to perform a new route lookup and fail over to a functioning nexthop.

2026-03-29ipv6: prepare headers for ipv6_stub removalFernando Fernandez Mancera
In preparation for dropping ipv6_stub and converting its users to direct function calls, introduce static inline dummy functions and fallback macros in the IPv6 networking headers. In addition, introduce checks on fib6_nh_init(), ip6_dst_lookup_flow() and ip6_fragment() to avoid a crash due to ipv6.disable=1 set during booting. The other functions are safe as they cannot be called with ipv6.disable=1 set. These fallbacks ensure that when CONFIG_IPV6 is completely disabled, there are no compiling or linking errors due to code paths not guarded by preprocessor macro IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6). In addition, export ndisc_send_na(), ip6_route_input() and ip6_fragment(). Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de> Tested-by: Ricardo B.

2026-03-23ipv6: Don't remove permanent routes with exceptions from tb6_gc_hlist.Kuniyuki Iwashima
The cited commit mechanically put fib6_remove_gc_list() just after every fib6_clean_expires() call. When a temporary route is promoted to a permanent route, there may already be exception routes tied to it. If fib6_remove_gc_list() removes the route from tb6_gc_hlist, such exception routes will no longer be aged. Let's replace fib6_remove_gc_list() with a new helper fib6_may_remove_gc_list() and use fib6_age_exceptions() there. Note that net->ipv6 is only compiled when CONFIG_IPV6 is enabled, so fib6_{add,remove,may_remove}_gc_list() are guarded.

2026-03-05net: ipv6: fix panic when IPv4 route references loopback IPv6 nexthopJiayuan Chen
When a standalone IPv6 nexthop object is created with a loopback device (e.g., "ip -6 nexthop add id 100 dev lo"), fib6_nh_init() misclassifies it as a reject route. This is because nexthop objects have no destination prefix (fc_dst=::), causing fib6_is_reject() to match any loopback nexthop. The reject path skips fib_nh_common_init(), leaving nhc_pcpu_rth_output unallocated. If an IPv4 route later references this nexthop, __mkroute_output() dereferences NULL nhc_pcpu_rth_output and panics. Simplify the check in fib6_nh_init() to only match explicit reject routes (RTF_REJECT) instead of using fib6_is_reject(). The loopback promotion heuristic in fib6_is_reject() is handled separately by ip6_route_info_create_nh(). After this change, the three cases behave as follows: 1. Explicit reject route ("ip -6 route add unreachable 2001:db8::/64"): RTF_REJECT is set, enters reject path, skips fib_nh_common_init(). No behavior change. 2. Implicit loopback reject route ("ip -6 route add 2001:db8::/32 dev lo"): RTF_REJECT is not set, takes normal path, fib_nh_common_init() is called. ip6_route_info_create_nh() still promotes it to reject afterward. nhc_pcpu_rth_output is allocated but unused, which is harmless. 3. Standalone nexthop object ("ip -6 nexthop add id 100 dev lo"): RTF_REJECT is not set, takes normal path, fib_nh_common_init() is called. nhc_pcpu_rth_output is properly allocated, fixing the crash when IPv4 routes reference this nexthop.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
