  We need to mark appropriate addresses so we can do retries in case their
  DAD failed.

• 93a714d6b   multicast: Extend ip address command to enable multicast group join/leave on ... Browse Code »

  Joining multicast group on ethernet level via "ip maddr" command would
  not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since
  the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not
  have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses.

  Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option
  that enables then to do the required join.

  By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar
  functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling
  mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is
  structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave.

  example:
  ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin
  ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5

• 761aac737   ipv6 addrconf: add IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag to suppress creation of IP6 routes ... Browse Code »

  When adding/modifying an IPv6 address, the userspace application needs
  a way to suppress adding a prefix route. This is for example relevant
  together with IFA_F_MANAGERTEMPADDR, where userspace creates autoconf
  generated addresses, but depending on on-link, no route for the
  prefix should be added.

• 53bd67491   ipv6 addrconf: introduce IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR to tell kernel to manage temporary addresses ... Browse Code »

  Creating an address with this flag set will result in kernel taking care
  of temporary addresses in the same way as if the address was created by
  kernel itself (after RA receive). This allows userspace applications
  implementing the autoconfiguration (NetworkManager for example) to
  implement ipv6 addresses privacy.

  There is no more space in u8 ifa_flags. So do what davem suffested and
  add another netlink attr called IFA_FLAGS for carry more flags.
