    gre: add link local route when local addr is any · 08b44656
    Nicolas Dichtel authored
    This bug was reported by Steinar H. Gunderson and was introduced by commit
    f7cb8886 ("sit/gre6: don't try to add the same route two times").
    
    root@morgental:~# ip tunnel add foo mode gre remote 1.2.3.4 ttl 64
    root@morgental:~# ip link set foo up mtu 1468
    root@morgental:~# ip -6 route show dev foo
    fe80::/64  proto kernel  metric 256
    
    but after the above commit, no such route shows up.
    
    There is no link local route because dev->dev_addr is 0 (because local ipv4
    address is 0), hence no link local address is configured.
    
    In this scenario, the link local address is added manually: 'ip -6 addr add
    fe80::1 dev foo' and because prefix is /128, no link local route is added by the
    kernel.
    
    Even if the right things to do is to add the link local address with a /64
    prefix, we need to restore the previous behavior to avoid breaking userpace.
