ipv6: fix prefix route expiry in modify_prefix_route()
modify_prefix_route() is given the lifetime in clock_t relative to now, but fib6_set_expires() wants an absolute jiffies value. So when a permanent address is changed to a finite valid_lft, the prefix route ends up already expired and GC removes it. Steps to reproduce: ip link add dummy9 type dummy ip link set dummy9 up ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:9::1/64 dev dummy9 ip -6 addr change 2001:db8:9::1/64 dev dummy9 valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 3600 ip -6 route show dev dummy9 # expires is negative Fixes: 8308f3ff1753 ("net/ipv6: Add support for specifying metric of connected routes") Signed-off-by: Qishuai Liu <lqs@lqs.me> Reviewed-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@kylinos.cn> Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260923132048.3272878-1-lqs@lqs.me Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
