Thanks, but someone backported the commit mentioned in the Fixes line: Fixes: 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes")

to 4.14.y. If it's really not relevant there, not a big deal, now dropped.

Just checked and that commit is not in 4.14 line.

It is one of like 90 other patches that actually depend on other changes in 4.15, 4.16. I can not imagine some poor soul backporting all of that to 4.14.
