if_bridge.h uses struct in6_addr ip6; but does not include the in6.h
header.

Found by trying to build libvirt and connman against 3.8-rc3 headers.


Ok,
ignore this patch, it's not the correct fix as it introduces
redefinitions...

Btw, the error that I hit that made me suggest this fix was libvirt
config check bailing out:

config.log:/usr/include/linux/if_bridge.h:173:20: error: field 'ip6' has
incomplete type

Hmm, just now noticing this thread, after independently hitting and and
having to work around the same problem in libvirt:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-January/msg00930.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895141


Yep,

and the commit breaking uapi headers is by using "struct in6_addr ip6" is:

Subject: [PATCH] bridge: export multicast database via netlink

V5: fix two bugs pointed out by Thomas
    remove seq check for now, mark it as TODO

V4: remove some useless #include
    some coding style fix

V3: drop debugging printk's
    update selinux perm table as well

V2: drop patch 1/2, export ifindex directly
    Redesign netlink attributes
    Improve netlink seq check
    Handle IPv6 addr as well

This patch exports bridge multicast database via netlink
message type RTM_GETMDB. Similar to fdb, but currently bridge-specific.
We may need to support modify multicast database too (RTM_{ADD,DEL}MDB).

(Thanks to Thomas for patient reviews)
