    ipv6: update Destination Cache entries when gateway turn into host · be7a010d
    Duan Jiong 提交于
    RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5:
    
    	The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the
             Router flag in the received advertisement.  In those cases
             where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result
             of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the
             Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries
             for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as
             specified in Section 7.3.3.  This is needed to detect when a
             node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to
             being configured as a host.
    
    Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from
    TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List,
    and don't update the Destination Cache entries.
    
    Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce
    function rt6_clean_tohost().
