[ Upstream commit 2e60546368165c2449564d71f6005dda9205b5fb ]
Avoid the situation where an IPV6 only flag is applied to an IPv4 address:
# ip addr add 192.0.2.1/24 dev dummy0 nodad home mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
# ip -4 addr show dev dummy0
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
inet 192.0.2.1/24 scope global noprefixroute dummy0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Or worse, by sending a malicious netlink command:
# ip -4 addr show dev dummy0
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
inet 192.0.2.1/24 scope global nodad optimistic dadfailed home tentative mngtmpaddr noprefixroute stable-privacy dummy0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
