The problem seen is that when adding a route with a nexthop with no via address specified, iproute2 generates bogus output: # ip -f mpls route add 100 dev lo # ip -f mpls route list 100 via inet 0.0.8.0 dev lo The reason for this is that the kernel generates an RTA_VIA attribute with the family set to AF_INET, but the via address data having zero length. The cause of family being AF_INET is that on route insert cfg->rc_via_table is left set to 0, which just happens to be NEIGH_ARP_TABLE which is then translated into AF_INET. iproute2 doesn't validate the length prior to printing and so prints garbage. Although it could be fixed to do the validation, I would argue that AF_INET addresses should always be exactly 4 bytes so the kernel is really giving userspace bogus data. Therefore, avoid generating the RTA_VIA attribute when dumping the route if the via address wasn't specified on add/modify. This is indicated by NEIGH_ARP_TABLE and a zero via address length - if the user specified a via address the address length would have been validated such that it was 4 bytes. Although this is a change in behaviour that is visible to userspace, I believe that what was generated before was invalid and as such userspace wouldn't be expecting it.
