we ran into the same problem and found this:
* Linux 2.6 seems to list all multicast / anycast adresses together with
unicast addresses:
[equinox-Fynnp5iTXxOlVyrhU4qvOw@public.gmane.org]:~ # ip a l dc2
9: dc2-eEeg5gueQ+g@public.gmane.org: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1460 qdisc noqueue
~ link/gre 0.0.0.0 peer 217.82.189.49
~ inet 172.22.24.1 peer 172.22.2.2/32 scope global dc2
~ inet6 fe80::ac17:2402/64 scope link
~ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
~ inet6 ff02::5/128 scope global
~ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
~ inet6 ff02::1/128 scope global
~ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
~ inet6 fe80::/128 scope global
~ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
(note the 2nd last line)
* ospf6d uses the address list for selecting a linklocal address with
IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL
(quagga/ospf6d/ospf_interface.c:192)
~ /* linklocal scope check */
~ if (IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL (&c->address->u.prefix6))
~ l = &c->address->u.prefix6;
* IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL is defined in /usr/include/netinet/in.h:307 as
follows:
#define IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL(a) \
~ ((((__const uint32_t *) (a))[0] & htonl (0xffc00000)) \
~ == htonl (0xfe800000))
* in conjunction with 2.6 reporting all multicast/anycast addresses,
this gets fe80:: (all-routers as far as i remember) into the OSPF6
interface, but the kernel will reject this (of course...):
~ OSPF6: Network: sendmsg (ifindex: 9) failed: Invalid argument(22)
I don't know whose fault it is (how is IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL defined to
work? Is it OK for the kernel to include anycast/multicast addresses?)
but this breaks ospf6d. Our fix was to change netinet/in.h because
IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL returning !0 only for unicast addresses seemed to
be "the right thing". Patch attached. (categorize that patch as "dirty
works-for-me hack")
