Subject: [PATCH net-next 8/9] net/ipv6: Bail early if user only wants cloned entries

From: David Ahern <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2018 08:06:26 -0700

From: David Ahern <[email-masked]>

Similar to IPv4, IPv6 fib no longer contains cloned routes. If a user
requests a route dump for only cloned entries, no sense walking the FIB
and returning everything.
