[patch 16/38] IPV4: fib: fix route replacement, fib_info is shared

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Feb 22 2008 - 19:40:59 EST


2.6.24-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
Upstream commit: c18865f39276435abb9286f9a816cb5b66c99a00

fib_info can be shared by many route prefixes but we don't want
duplicate alternative routes for a prefix+tos+priority. Last change
was not correct to check fib_treeref because it accounts usage from
other prefixes. Additionally, avoid replacement without error if new
route is same, as Joonwoo Park suggests.
