    ipv6: don't add link local route when there is no link local address · 62b54dd9
    Nicolas Dichtel 提交于
    When an address is added on loopback (ip -6 a a 2002::1/128 dev lo), a route
    to fe80::/64 is added in the main table:
      unreachable fe80::/64 dev lo  proto kernel  metric 256  error -101
    
    This route does not match any prefix (no fe80:: address on lo). In fact,
    addrconf_dev_config() will not add link local address because this function
    filters interfaces by type. If the link local address is added manually, the
    route to the link local prefix will be automatically added by
    addrconf_add_linklocal().
    Note also, that this route is not deleted when the address is removed.
    
    After looking at the code, it seems that addrconf_add_lroute() is redundant with
    addrconf_add_linklocal(), because this function will add the link local route
    when the link local address is configured.
