Ido Schimmel 8b8e0dd357 ipv6: Do not consider link down nexthops in path selection
Nexthops whose link is down are not supposed to be considered during
path selection when the "ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl is set.
This is done by assigning them a negative region boundary.

However, when comparing the computed hash (unsigned) with the region
boundary (signed), the negative region boundary is treated as unsigned,
resulting in incorrect nexthop selection.

Fix by treating the computed hash as signed. Note that the computed hash
is always in range of [0, 2^31 - 1].

Fixes: 3d709f69a3 ("ipv6: Use hash-threshold instead of modulo-N")

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 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.
