    net/ipv6: onlink nexthop checks should default to main table · 44750f84
    David Ahern authored
    Because of differences in how ipv4 and ipv6 handle fib lookups,
    verification of nexthops with onlink flag need to default to the main
    table rather than the local table used by IPv4. As it stands an
    address within a connected route on device 1 can be used with
    onlink on device 2. Updating the table properly rejects the route
    due to the egress device mismatch.
    
    Update the extack message as well to show it could be a device
    mismatch for the nexthop spec.
    
    Fixes: fc1e64e1
