Currently IFF_NO_ADDRCONF is used to prevent all ipv6 addrconf for the
slave ports of team, bonding and failover devices and it means no ipv6
packets can be sent out through these slave ports. However, for team
device, "nsna_ping" link_watch requires ipv6 addrconf. Otherwise, the
link will be marked failure.

The orginal issue fixed by IFF_NO_ADDRCONF was caused by DAD and RS
packets sent by slave ports in commit c2edacf80e15 ("bonding / ipv6: no
addrconf for slaves separately from master") where it's using IFF_SLAVE
and later changed to IFF_NO_ADDRCONF in commit 8a321cf7becc ("net: add
IFF_NO_ADDRCONF and use it in bonding to prevent ipv6 addrconf").

So instead of preventing all the ipv6 addrconf, it makes more sense to
only prevent DAD and RS sending for the slave ports: Firstly, check
IFF_NO_ADDRCONF in addrconf_dad_completed() to prevent RS as it did in
commit b52e1cce31ca ("ipv6: Don't send rs packets to the interface of
ARPHRD_TUNNEL"), and then also check IFF_NO_ADDRCONF where IFA_F_NODAD
is checked to prevent DAD.

That patch is less than a month old, and you are making changes again.

I think you should add some test cases that cover the permutations you
want along with any possible alternative / negative use cases.

Hi, David,

That patch will not change anything, and it's an improvement. the
problem is the commit:

0aa64df30b38 ("net: team: use IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag to prevent ipv6 addrconf")

So it affects the team driver only, and I should've done more team driver tests.
Sorry for having to touch the IPv6 code for this problem in the team driver.

IFF_NO_ADDRCONF are used by team/bonding/failover, I will try to add
a kselftest for this with team/bonding.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Please include such test in the next iteration, thanks!
