commit90f33bffa3upstream. We must avoid modifying published nexthop groups while they might be in use, otherwise we might see NULL ptr dereferences. In order to do that we allocate 2 nexthoup group structures upon nexthop creation and swap between them when we have to delete an entry. The reason is that we can't fail nexthop group removal, so we can't handle allocation failure thus we move the extra allocation on creation where we can safely fail and return ENOMEM.

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.
