    ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address · e5dd7294
    Antonio Quartulli authored
    GRE interfaces are not Ether-like and therefore it is not
    possible to generate the v6LL address the same way as (for example)
    GRETAP devices.
    
    With default settings, a GRE interface will attempt generating its v6LL
    address using the EUI64 approach, but this will fail when the local
    endpoint of the GRE tunnel is set to "any". In this case the GRE
    interface will end up with no v6LL address, thus violating RFC4291.
    
    SIT interfaces already implement a different logic to ensure that a v6LL
    address is always computed.
    
    Change the GRE v6LL generation logic to follow the same approach as SIT.
    This way GRE interfaces will always have a v6LL address as well.
    
    Behaviour of GRETAP interfaces has not been changed as they behave like
    classic Ether-like interfaces.
    
    To avoid code duplication sit_add_v4_addrs() has been renamed to
    add_v4_addrs() and adapted to handle also the IP6GRE/GRE cases.
