[ 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
