Subject: [PATCH iproute2] utils: Do not reset family for default, any, all addresses
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 09:36:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180413163633.1844-1-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)

Thomas reported a change in behavior with respect to autodectecting
address families. Specifically, 'ip ro add default via fe80::1'
syntax was failing to treat fe80::1 as an IPv6 address as it did in
prior releases. The root causes appears to be a change in family when
the default keyword is parsed.

'default', 'any' and 'all' are relevant outside of AF_INET. Leave the
family arg as is for these when setting addr.

Fixes: 93fa12418dc6 ("utils: Always specify family and ->bytelen in get_prefix_1()")
Reported-by: Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo•org>
