Subject: [PATCH iproute2 1/3] ip address: do not set nodad option for IPv4 addresses
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2019 19:05:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8ceb5d97c00eb4bec860df69e3066be7df1239cc.1561394228.git.aclaudi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1561394228.git.aclaudi@redhat.com>

Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4862) is available only for IPv6
addresses. As a consequence, 'nodad' option, turning it off, should
be available only for IPv6, and is defined like that in the man page.

However it is possible to set nodad on IPv4 addresses, too:

$ ip link add dummy0 type dummy
$ ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.1 dev dummy0 nodad
$ ip a
1: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
   link/ether 1a:6d:c6:96:ca:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   inet 192.168.1.1/32 scope global nodad dummy0
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Fix this adding a check on the protocol family before setting
IFA_F_NODAD flag.

Fixes: bac735c53a36d ("enabled to manipulate the flags of IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS or IFA_F_NODAD from ip.")
