In d9ee51e, virNetDevIPCheckIPv6Forwarding was updated to walk the contents of /proc/net/ipv6_route so that it could check to see if the RTF_ADDRCONF was set on any IPv6 routes to ultimately determine if enabling forwarding would result in an error due to accept_ra=1 being set on the interface. The implementation added in that commit limited the number of routes that could be read from /proc/net/ipv6_route to 100_000, each with 150 characters. This is problematic for machines that have a full IPv6 routing table, as the IPv6 routing table has now grown to over 160_000 (it was closer to 100_000 at the time of that commit). This patch increases the maximum route size from 100_000 to 1_000_000. While a million routes is somewhat arbitrary, it's meant to be a value that can be supported for the forseeable future. APNIC, one of the five regional internet registries, recently published a forecast of IPv6 table growth which anticipates a worst-case growth to 1_000_000 in January of 2029.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
