Details

with iproute2 3.4.0, the output of 'ip addr' looked something like:


2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether de:ad:be:ef:00:10 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.2.102/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global eth0
inet6 fe80::dcad:beff:feef:10/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

As of 3.5.0, the same command gets you:

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether bc:ae:c5:0b:fc:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Expected behavior is still obtained by explicitly specifying the protocol (-4 or -6).

Bisected/reported upstream by a Gentoo dev on linux-netdev:

Not suggesting we apply this patch, but something to keep an eye on to fix this.
This task depends upon
