When IP address protocol field was added in commit 47f0bd5032 ("net: Add
new protocol attribute to IP addresses"), the semantics included the
ability to change the protocol for IPv6 addresses, but not for IPv4
addresses. It seems this was not deliberate, but rather by accident.
A userspace that wants to change the protocol of an address might drop and
recreate the address, but that disrupts routing and is just impractical.
So in this patch, when an IPv4 address is replaced (through RTM_NEWADDR
request with NLM_F_REPLACE flag), update the proto at the address to the
one given in the request, or zero if none is given. This matches the
behavior of IPv6. Previously, any new value given was simply ignored.

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.
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.
