Well, I tend to agree with Alexey since we don't need a lot of extra data
support for providing 2 bits. The advantage with this approach is that the
unmodified ip util can display the flags correctly after it removes the
address specific flags. Going by the other approach, we need to support a
new type to get this information (IFA_IFFLAGS). If number of bits is
considered important, then it is possible to just return the 6 bits
(ignore the RS* bits). I feel this is less complicated of the two ways.
So at this time, I am sending the patch for 2.5.73 (is this too old ?)
using Alexey's suggestion. Patch follows for 2.4.21.
Thanks,
- KK
