    ipv6: protocol for address routes · f410a1fb

    This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is
    necessary a kernel problem.  With IPV6 when an address is added to an
    interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected
    route, and other as a kernel route.
    
    When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message
    causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is
    added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with
    the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it
    already has the connected route.
    
    The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol ==
    RTPROT_BOOT.  Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same
    patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.
