When inserting route cache into the exception table, the key is
generated with both src_addr and dest_addr with src addr routing.
However, current logic always assumes the src_addr used to generate the
key is a /128 host address. This is not true in the following scenarios:
1. When the route is a gateway route or does not have next hop.
(rt6_is_gw_or_nonexthop() == false)
2. When calling ip6_rt_cache_alloc(), saddr is passed in as NULL.
This means, when looking for a route cache in the exception table, we
have to do the lookup twice: first time with the passed in /128 host
address, second time with the src_addr stored in fib6_info.
This solves the pmtu discovery issue reported by Mikael Magnusson where
a route cache with a lower mtu info is created for a gateway route with
src addr. However, the lookup code is not able to find this route cache.
Fixes: 2b760fcf5c ("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache")

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.
