[ Upstream commit34fe5a1cf9] Brian reported a crash in IPv6 code when using rpfilter with a setup running FRR and external nexthop objects. The root cause of the crash is fib6_select_path setting fib6_nh in the result to NULL because of an improper check for nexthop objects. More specifically, rpfilter invokes ip6_route_lookup with flowi6_oif set causing fib6_select_path to be called with have_oif_match set. fib6_select_path has early check on have_oif_match and jumps to the out label which presumes a builtin fib6_nh. This path is invalid for nexthop objects; for external nexthops fib6_select_path needs to just return if the fib6_nh has already been set in the result otherwise it returns after the call to nexthop_path_fib6_result. Update the check on have_oif_match to not bail on external nexthops. Update selftests for this problem.

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.
