Kuniyuki Iwashima c9cabe05e4 ipv6: Move nexthop_find_by_id() after fib6_info_alloc().
We will get rid of RTNL from RTM_NEWROUTE and SIOCADDRT.

Then, we must perform two lookups for nexthop and dev under RCU
to guarantee their lifetime.

ip6_route_info_create() calls nexthop_find_by_id() first if
RTA_NH_ID is specified, and then allocates struct fib6_info.

nexthop_find_by_id() must be called under RCU, but we do not want
to use GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocation here, which will be likely
to fail in ip6_route_multipath_add().

Let's move nexthop_find_by_id() after the memory allocation so
that we can later split ip6_route_info_create() into two parts:
the sleepable part and the RCU part.

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.
