Currently, IPv6 router discovery always puts routes into
RT6_TABLE_MAIN. This causes problems for connection managers
that want to support multiple simultaneous network connections
and want control over which one is used by default (e.g., wifi
and wired).
To work around this connection managers typically take the routes
they prefer and copy them to static routes with low metrics in
the main table. This puts the burden on the connection manager
to watch netlink to see if the routes have changed, delete the
routes when their lifetime expires, etc.
Instead, this patch adds a per-interface sysctl to have the
kernel put autoconf routes into different tables. This allows
each interface to have its own autoconf table, and choosing the
default interface (or using different interfaces at the same
time for different types of traffic) can be done using
appropriate ip rules.
The sysctl behaves as follows:
- = 0: default. Put routes into RT6_TABLE_MAIN as before.
- > 0: manual. Put routes into the specified table.
- < 0: automatic. Add the absolute value of the sysctl to the
device's ifindex, and use that table.
The automatic mode is most useful in conjunction with
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra_rt_table. A connection manager
or distribution could set it to, say, -100 on boot, and
thereafter just use IP rules.
