iproute2 question on flushing addresses
From: Ben Greear <hidden>

I am trying to flush all secondary IPs before flushing primaries, because
otherwise it creates a flood of netlink messages as each primary is deleted
and a secondary takes over as primary (changing all routes for all other
secondaries).
I was thinking this command could work, but it does not appear to do
anything:
./local/sbin/ip addr flush dev rddVR17 secondary
While poking at the code..I saw this. It seems to me that the check for IFA_F_SECONDARY
is reversed?
int print_addrinfo_primary(const struct sockaddr_nl *who, struct nlmsghdr *n,
void *arg)
{
struct ifaddrmsg *ifa = NLMSG_DATA(n);
if (!ifa->ifa_flags & IFA_F_SECONDARY)
return 0;
return print_addrinfo(who, n, arg);
}
Thanks,
Ben
