[ Upstream commit 390b3a300d7872cef9588f003b204398be69ce08 ]
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.
