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.

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.
Add ip link command parsing for VF spoof checking enable/disable
V2 - Fixed problem with parsing of dump info on kernels that don't
support the spoof checking option and also wrapped the ifla_vf_info
structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from directly
accessing the structure
V3 - Improved parsing of vfinfo
V4 - Put Makefile back to proper list of subdirs
V5 - Remove struct ifla_vf_info, it is only used by the kernel
V6 - Make sure spoof check is reported by the driver - rtnl will set
it to -1 to indicate driver didn't report a value.

[PATCH iproute2] ip: Support IFLA_TXQLEN in ip link show command
We currently use an expensive ioctl() to get device txqueuelen, while
rtnetlink gave it to us for free. This patch speeds up ip link operation
when many devices are registered.

Add the group keyword to ip link set, which has the following meaning:
If both a group and a device name are pressent, we change the device's
group to the specified one. If only a group is present, then the
operation specified by the rest of the command should apply on an entire
group, not a single device.
So, to set eth0 to the default group, one would use
ip link set dev eth0 group default
Conversely, to set all the devices in the default group down, use
ip link set group default down

User can specify device group to list by using the group keyword:

If no group is specified, 0 (default) is implied.

This reverts commit 632110aa0d.
There seem to be some recent changes in the 802.1Qbh/bg specs which may
result in changes to this patch in the near future. It seems like its best
to ignore this patch for now.
I will re-spin at a later time when the changes in the specs converge.
BTW, Please let me know if I should CC netdev list and others on the
original email. I can resend this email.
Thanks,

Resubmitting Scott Feldmans original patch with below changes
- Fix port profile strlen which was off by 1
- Added function to convert IFLA_PORT_RESPONSE codes to string
Add support for IFLA_VF_PORTS. VF port netlink msg layout is

[IFLA_VF_PORTS]
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
...
[IFLA_PORT_SELF]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
The iproute2 cmd line for link set is now:
Usage: ip link add link DEV [ name ] NAME

[ broadcast LLADDR ]
[ mtu MTU ]
type TYPE [ ARGS ]
ip link delete DEV type TYPE [ ARGS ]

The default remains at 10 for backwards compatibility.
For instance:
# ip addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 10 rounds. ***
# ip -l 20 addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 20 rounds. ***
# ip -loops 0 addr flush dev eth2
#
This is useful for getting rid of large numbers of IP
addresses in scripts.

The old 'ip addr flush' logic had several flaws:
* It reversed logic for primary v/s secondary flags
(though, it sort of worked right anyway)
* The code tried to remove secondaries and then primaries,
but in practice, it always removed one primary per loop,
which not at all efficient.
* The filter logic in the core would run only the first
filter in most cases.
* If you used '-s -s', the ifa_flags member would be
modified, which could make future filters fail
to function fine.
This patch attempts to fix all of these issues.

`ip -s link` shows interface counters truncated to 32 bit. This is

The kernel interface changed just before 2.6.34 was released. This brings
iproute2 in line with the current changes. The VF portion of setlink is
comprised of a set of nested attributes.
