Add fib6_rt_update to send RTM_NEWROUTE with NLM_F_REPLACE set. This helper will be used by the nexthop code to notify userspace of routes that are impacted when a nexthop config is updated via replace. This notification is needed for legacy apps that do not understand the new nexthop object. Apps that are nexthop aware can use the RTA_NH_ID attribute in the route notification to just ignore it. In the future this should be wrapped in a sysctl to allow OS'es that are fully updated to avoid the notificaton storm. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
