Linux kernel source tree
390b3a300d
The kernel forbids the creation of non-FDB nexthop groups with FDB
nexthops:
# ip nexthop add id 1 via 192.0.2.1 fdb
# ip nexthop add id 2 group 1
Error: Non FDB nexthop group cannot have fdb nexthops.
And vice versa:
# ip nexthop add id 3 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1
# ip nexthop add id 4 group 3 fdb
Error: FDB nexthop group can only have fdb nexthops.
However, as long as no routes are pointing to a non-FDB nexthop group,
the kernel allows changing the type of a nexthop from FDB to non-FDB and
vice versa:
# ip nexthop add id 5 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1
# ip nexthop add id 6 group 5
# ip nexthop replace id 5 via 192.0.2.2 fdb
# echo $?
0
This configuration is invalid and can result in a NPD [1] since FDB
nexthops are not associated with a nexthop device:
# ip route add 198.51.100.1/32 nhid 6
# ping 198.51.100.1
Fix by preventing nexthop FDB status change while the nexthop is in a
group:
# ip nexthop add id 7 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1
# ip nexthop add id 8 group 7
# ip nexthop replace id 7 via 192.0.2.2 fdb
Error: Cannot change nexthop FDB status while in a group.

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 reStructuredText 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.
