Permanent IPV6 addresses should not be removed when the link is
set to admin down, only when device is removed.

When link is lost permanent addresses should be marked as tentative
so that when link comes back they are subject to duplicate address
detection (if DAD was enabled for that address).

Other routing systems keep manually configured IPv6 addresses
when link is set down.

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs

Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.

The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.

Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)

This patch fixes commit e36b9d16. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

There's a bug in addrconf_prefix_rcv() where it won't update the
preferred lifetime of an IPv6 address if the current valid lifetime
of the address is less than 2 hours (the minimum value in the RA).

For example, If I send a router advertisement with a prefix that
has valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 2 hours we'll build
this address:

3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
    inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic
       valid_lft 7175sec preferred_lft 7175sec

If I then send the same prefix with valid lifetime = preferred
lifetime = 0 it will be ignored since the minimum valid lifetime
is 2 hours:

3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
    inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic
       valid_lft 7161sec preferred_lft 7161sec

But according to RFC 4862 we should always reset the preferred lifetime
even if the valid lifetime is invalid, which would cause the address
to immediately get deprecated.  So with this patch we'd see this:

5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
    inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:21f:29ff:fe5a:ef04/64 scope global deprecated dynamic
       valid_lft 7163sec preferred_lft 0sec

The comment winds-up being 5x the size of the code to fix the problem.

Update the preferred lifetime of IPv6 addresses derived from a prefix
info option in a router advertisement even if the valid lifetime in
the option is invalid, as specified in RFC 4862 Section 5.5.3e.  Fixes
an issue where an address will not immediately become deprecated.

Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure()
to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects.
If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1,
but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then
immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be
added in the first place.  This also lets the user set this flag
and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire
system.

When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier. 
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of 
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.

But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.

I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

With some net devices types, an IPv6 address configured while the
interface was down can stay 'tentative' forever, even after the interface
is set up. In some case, pending IPv6 DADs are not executed when the
device becomes ready.

I observed this while doing some tests with kvm. If I assign an IPv6 
address to my interface eth0 (kvm driver rtl8139) when it is still down
then the address is flagged tentative (IFA_F_TENTATIVE). Then, I set
eth0 up, and to my surprise, the address stays 'tentative', no DAD is
executed and the address can't be pinged.

I also observed the same behaviour, without kvm, with virtual interfaces
types macvlan and veth.

Some easy steps to reproduce the issue with macvlan:

1. ip link add link eth0 type macvlan
2. ip -6 addr add 2003::ab32/64 dev macvlan0
3. ip addr show dev macvlan0
   ... 
   inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative
   ...
4. ip link set macvlan0 up
5. ip addr show dev macvlan0
   ...
   inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative
   ...
   Address is still tentative

I think there's a bug in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, addrconf_notify():
addrconf_dad_run() is not always run when the interface is flagged IF_READY.
Currently it is only run when receiving NETDEV_CHANGE event. Looks like
some (virtual) devices doesn't send this event when becoming up.

For both NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_CHANGE events, when the interface becomes
ready, run_pending should be set to 1. Patch below.

'run_pending = 1' could be moved below the if/else block but it makes 
the code less readable.

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.
