Subject: [PATCH v5 05/13] netlink: Return prefix length for IPv6 addresses in nl_addr_get()
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:44:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260222174445.743845-6-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260222174445.743845-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
nl_addr_get() was not setting the prefix_len output parameter for
IPv6 addresses, only for IPv4. This meant callers always got 0 for
IPv6, forcing them to use a hardcoded default (64).
Fix by assigning *prefix_len in the IPv6 case, matching the IPv4
behavior.
