[ Upstream commit 4d0ab3a6885e3e9040310a8d8f54503366083626 ]
Cited commit transitioned IPv6 path selection to use hash-threshold
instead of modulo-N. With hash-threshold, each nexthop is assigned a
region boundary in the multipath hash function's output space and a
nexthop is chosen if the calculated hash is smaller than the nexthop's
region boundary.
Hash-threshold does not work correctly if path selection does not start
with the first nexthop. For example, if fib6_select_path() is always
passed the last nexthop in the group, then it will always be chosen
because its region boundary covers the entire hash function's output
space.
Fix this by starting the selection process from the first nexthop and do
not consider nexthops for which rt6_score_route() provided a negative
score.

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.
