As the rfc 4191 said, the Router Preference and Lifetime values in a
::/0 Route Information Option should override the preference and lifetime
values in the Router Advertisement header. But when the kernel deals with
a ::/0 Route Information Option, the rt6_get_route_info() always return
NULL, that means that overriding will not happen, because those default
routers were added without flag RTF_ROUTEINFO in rt6_add_dflt_router().

In order to match those default routers, we can replace RTF_ROUTEINFO 
with RTF_ADDRCONF in rt6_get_route_info().

Hmm, that looks like a bug. Nice catch!

Couldn't we just replace the rt6_get_route_info in rt6_route_rcv with a call
to rt6_get_dflt_router? Seems easier, already handles the ::/0 case and also
does preserve the check for the RTF_ROUTEINFO flag in rt6_add_route_info.

Greetings,

  Hannes

Yeah, your idea is better. I will modify my patch.

Stop, stop, stop, sorry that suggestion is plain wrong and stupid.

But I still would like to see the check for RTF_ROUTEINFO happening
in rt6_add_route_info. We should also rename the function if you only query
for RTF_ADDRCONF and not RTF_ROUTEINFO.

Sorry,

  Hannes

In my opinion, i think that is well. According to your suggestion, we can 
call the rt6_get_dflt_router or rt6_get_route_info in different situation.

if (rinfo->prefix_len == 0)
	rt = rt6_get_dflt_router(gwaddr, dev);
else
	rt = rt6_get_route_info(net, prefix, rinfo->prefix_len, gwaddr,
				dev->ifindex);

How do you think of the change above?

Thanks,
  Duan

That's perfect.
