Added new option 'type' to 'ip link show'
command which allows to filter devices by type:
ip link show type bridge
ip link show type vlan

Sometimes it's needed to have "ip address show" list only addresses
with certain flags not being set, e.g. in network scripts.
As an example one might want to exclude addresses in "tentative"
or "deprecated" state.
Support listing addresses with flags tentative, deprecated, dadfailed
not being set by prefixing the respective flag with a minus.

This option was used only for 'ip link', but it can be useful to have it for
'ip address'. Thus it is possible to display link details and addresses with one
command.
Example:
$ ip -d a ls dev gre1
9: gre1@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1468 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
link/gre 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 promiscuity 0
gre remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249 ttl inherit ikey 0.0.0.10 okey 0.0.0.10 icsum ocsum
inet 192.168.0.249 peer 192.168.0.121/32 scope global gre1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Make ip address show accept the -s option similarly to ip link. This creates
an one command replacement for "ifconfig -a" useful for people who still
stay with ifconfig because of this feature.
Print the stats as the last thing for the interface. This requires some code
shuffling.

This patch avoids a full link wildump request when the user has specified
a single link. Uses RTM_GETLINK without the NLM_F_DUMP flag.
This helps on a system with large number of interfaces.
This patch currently only uses the link ifindex in the filter.
Hoping to provide a subsequent kernel patch to do link dump filtering on
other attributes in the kernel.
In iplink_get, to be safe, this patch currently sets the answer buffer
size to the max size that libnetlink rtnl_talk can copy. The current api
does not seem to provide a way to indicate the answer buf size.

o "min_tx_rate" option has been added for minimum Tx rate. Hence, for
consistent naming, "max_tx_rate" option has been introduced for maximum
Tx rate.
o Change in v2: "rate" can be used along with "max_tx_rate".
When both are specified, "max_tx_rate" should override.
o Change in v3:
* IFLA_VF_RATE: When IFLA_VF_RATE is used, and user has given only one of
min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, reading of previous rate limits is done in
userspace instead of in kernel space before ndo_set_vf_rate.
* IFLA_VF_TX_RATE: When IFLA_VF_TX_RATE is used, min_tx_rate is always read
in kernel space. This takes care of below scenarios:
(1) when old tool sends "rate" but kernel is new (expects min and max)
(2) when new tool sends only "rate" but kernel is old (expects only "rate")
o Change in v4 as suggested by Stephen Hemminger:
* As per iproute policy, input and output formats should match. Changing display
of max_tx_rate and min_tx_rate options accordingly.

Kernel is being extended to support flag IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR also for
deletion of addresses. This will allow a userspace application to indicate
that for a global address the kernel should delete all related temporary
addresses as well.
"ip addr del" internally calls ipaddr_modify which silently accepts
any flag provided on the command line already, independent of the
actual command.
Therefore only the usage documentation needs to be extended.

commit 37c9b94ed2 (add support for extended ifa_flags)
introduced a regression:
# ./ip/ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
This is due to old kernels don't support IFA_FLAGS flag, we should not
use it if we don't use the flags beyond old .ifa_flags.

This change adds the interface group to the output of "ip link show".
It also makes "ip link" print _all_ devices if no group filter is specified;
previously, only interfaces of the default group (0) were shown.

This is useful to know the 'real' status of an interface (the flag IFF_PROMISC
is exported by the kernel only when the user set it explicitly, for example it
will not be exported when a tcpdump is running).
This information will be displayed when '-details' is provided by the user.
Example:
$ ip -d l l tun10
6: tun10: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/sit 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121

This functionality is required by checkpoint-restore project. Since the
dump and restore for routes is already done in ip tool it's naturally to
dump and restore addresses in the ip tool as well.
The implementation logic is the same as for the respective one for routes.

`ip a s` no longer shows addresses since 3.4.0 works, but 3.5.0,
the simple test case:
make clean && make -j -s && ./ip/ip a s lo
before that change, i would get:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
but after, i now get:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
seems like the bug was introduced in the middle of that patch:
- if (filter.family != AF_PACKET) {
+ if (filter.family && filter.family != AF_PACKET) {
+ if (filter.oneline)
+ no_link = 1;
+
if (rtnl_wilddump_request(&rth, filter.family, RTM_GETADDR) < 0) {
perror("Cannot send dump request");
exit(1);
if i revert the change to the if statement there, `ip a s` works for me again.
Alternative solution to problem reported by Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com>
Split large function ipaddr_list_or_flush into components.
Fix memory leak of address and link nlmsg info.
Avoid fetching address info if only flushing.
ip link has quadratic behavior because store_nlmsg()
has a head list pointer and search the end of list.
Provides a head/tail to cut time.

The kernel supports a link mode attribute (which can be dormant or default).
This attribute is used to control how the link watch engine
handles operstate transistion.
This adds a new parameter to ip link command to allow setting and
displaying the value.
---
Both rtnl_talk and rtnl_dump had a callback for handling portions
of netlink message that do not match the correct pid or seq.
But this callback was never used by any part of iproute2 so remove
it.
