ipv6 addrconf: don't cleanup prefix route for IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE
Refactor the deletion/update of prefix routes when removing an address. Now also consider IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE and if there is an address present with this flag, to not cleanup the route. Instead, assume that userspace is taking care of this route. Also perform the same cleanup, when userspace changes an existing address to add NOPREFIXROUTE (to an address that didn't have this flag). This is done because when the address was added, a prefix route was created for it. Since the user now wants to handle this route by himself, we cleanup this route. This cleanup of the route is not totally robust. There is no guarantee, that the route we are about to delete was really the one added by the kernel. This behavior does not change by the patch, and in practice it should work just fine. Signed-off-by: Thomas Haller <thaller@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
