Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Use IFA_F_NODAD also while duplicating addresses from the host
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 00:10:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240425221015.452760-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)

...not just for a single set address (legacy operation with
--no-copy-addrs). I forgot to add this to nl_addr_dup().

Note that we can have two version of flags: the 8-bit ifa_flags in
ifaddrmsg, and the newer 32-bit version as IFA_FLAGS attribute, which
is given priority if present. Make sure IFA_F_NODAD is set in both.

Without this, a Podman user reports, something on the lines of:
  pasta --config-net -- ping -c1 -6 passt.top

would fail as the kernel would start Duplicate Address Detection
once we configure the address, which can't really work (and doesn't
make sense) in this case.
