From 63998ac24f8370caf99e433483532bab8368eb7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:28:43 +0000 Subject: ipv6: provide addr and netconf dump consistency info This patch adds a dev_addr_genid for IPv6. The goal is to use it, combined with dev_base_seq to check if a change occurs during a netlink dump. If a change is detected, the flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR is set in the first message after the dump was interrupted. Note that only dump of unicast addresses is checked (multicast and anycast are not checked). Reported-by: Junwei Zhang Reported-by: Hongjun Li Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S.
