Hi, this patch series introduces the ndisc ops callback structure to add different handling for IPv6 neighbour discovery cache functionality. It implements at first the two following use-cases: - 6CO handling as userspace option (For all 6LoWPAN layers, BTLE/802.15.4) [0] - short address handling for 802.15.4 6LoWPAN only [1] Since my last patch series, I completely changed the whole ndisc_ops callback structure to not replace the whole ndisc functionality at recv/send level of NS/NA/RS/RA which I send in my previous patch-series "6lowpan: introduce basic 6lowpan-nd". I changed it now to add different handling in a very low-level way of ndisc functionality. The ndisc_ops don't must be registered to dev->ndisc_ops anymore, if they are not set, then no additional ipv6 ndisc handling will be done. This patch series now introduce a complete handling of short address for 802.15.4 6LoWPAN in case of send/recv of NA/NS/RS and RA. In case of RA (receive only) and PIO we also need a second prefix + short-address based address. This callback structure can be used later (I hope) for RFC 6775 [0]. This RFC defines some new option fields and messages for 6LoWPAN-ND. This patch series does not implement RFC 6775 (except we decide now to handle 6CO in userspace). Additional we can use the current ops for parse/fill ndisc options for kernel handled ndisc messages to add 6CIO, see [2]. I tested RA/NS/NA/RS messages with short address which seems to work, what I didn't test is the redirect messages since I don't know how to generate them. The short address for redirect messages are also some special case here, because the short address by a L3 target address need to be added. btw: According to [3] sending redirect messages should be also disabled by default on 6lowpan interfaces, but can be activated afterwards. This is maybe something for the ipv6_devconf structure. There is a "accept_redirects" but no "disable_redirects". - Alex [0] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6775 [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4944#section-8 [2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7400#section-3.3 [3] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6775#section-6.1 Cc: David S.

Instead add ndisc_dev helpers for do it for the normal case. - remove lowpan_neigh and add a 802.15.4 6lowpan private data for now only. - remove empty ndisc_ops inline functions - add tmp debugfs UAPI to get 6lowpan short address, necessary for e.g. radvd to put short address as sllao in RA.
