    ipv6: Fix use of anycast address with loopback · aea23c32
    David Ahern authored
    Thomas reported a regression with IPv6 and anycast using the following
    reproducer:
    
        echo 1 >  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
        ip -6 a add fc12::1/16 dev lo
        sleep 2
        echo "pinging lo"
        ping6 -c 2 fc12::
    
    The conversion of addrconf_f6i_alloc to use ip6_route_info_create missed
    the use of fib6_is_reject which checks addresses added to the loopback
    interface and sets the REJECT flag as needed. Update fib6_is_reject for
    loopback checks to handle RTF_ANYCAST addresses.
