Since v1, I have added a lot more consistency checks to the address configuration, making sure address families and scopes match. To simplify the implementation, I also did some general refactoring of the configuration handling in the new first patch of the series. The second patch is more cleanup; is slightly touches OVS code, so that list is in CC this time, too. As in v1, the last two patches actually make VXLAN over IPv6 link-local work, and allow multiple VXLANs with the same VNI and port, as long as link-local addresses on different interfaces are used. As suggested, I now store in the flags field if the VXLAN uses link-local addresses or not. v3 removes log messages as suggested by Roopa Prabhu (as it is very unusual for errors in netlink requests to be printed to the kernel log.) The commit message of patch 5 has been extended to add a note about IPv4. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- cf67bebecb4b5564586a4674646382ca380ec205
