From: David Ahern dsa@cumulusnetworks.com
[ Upstream commit 61733c91c454a61be0ffc93fe46a5d5f2f048c1c ]
Alive tracking of nexthops can account for a link twice if the carrier goes down followed by an admin down of the same link rendering multipath routes useless. This is similar to 79099aab38c8 for UNREGISTER events and DOWN events.
Fix by tracking number of alive nexthops in mpls_ifdown similar to the logic in mpls_ifup. Checking the flags per nexthop once after all events have been processed is simpler than trying to maintian a running count through all event combinations.
Also, WRITE_ONCE is used instead of ACCESS_ONCE to set rt_nhn_alive per a comment from checkpatch: WARNING: Prefer WRITE_ONCE(<FOO>, <BAR>) over ACCESS_ONCE(<FOO>) = <BAR>
