Matteo Croce 47ce442783 ipv4: don't set IPv6 only flags to IPv4 addresses
[ Upstream commit 2e60546368 ]

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

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
