According to man getaddrinfo(3):
If hints.ai_flags includes the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag, then IPv4 addresses
are returned in the list pointed to by res only if the local system has
at least one IPv4 address configured, and IPv6 addresses are only
returned if the local system has at least one IPv6 address configured.
The loopback address is not considered for this case as valid as a
configured address.
This patch removes AI_CANONNAME since we don't need the ->ai_canonname
field set in this code.
hints.ai_family has been changed to AF_UNSPEC otherwise the
AI_ADDRCONFIG flag is ignored.
Originally reported as a problem for iptables-translate, but this also
affects iptables and ip6tables.
$ iptables-translate -A INPUT -s localhost -j ACCEPT
gives duplicated rules:
nft add rule ip filter INPUT ip saddr 127.0.0.1 counter accept
nft add rule ip filter INPUT ip saddr 127.0.0.1 counter accept
