Subject: mpls: Send route delete notifications when router module is unloaded
From: David Ahern <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit e37791ec1ad785b59022ae211f63a16189bacebf ]
When the mpls_router module is unloaded, mpls routes are deleted but notifications are not sent to userspace leaving userspace caches out of sync. Add the call to mpls_notify_route in mpls_net_exit as routes are freed.
