Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 2/6] net: move netfilter nf_reject6_fill_skb_dst to core ipv6

From: Mahe Tardy <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:58:12 +0000

Move and rename nf_reject6_fill_skb_dst from
ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6 to ip6_route_reply_fetch_dst in
ipv6/route.c so that it can be reused in the following patches by BPF
kfuncs.

Netfilter uses nf_ip6_route that is almost a transparent wrapper around
ip6_route_output so this patch inlines it.
