Re: [PATCH net-next 0/7] net: Add address attribute to control metric of prefix route

For use cases such as VRR (Virtual Router Redundancy) interface managers
want efficient control over the order of prefix routes when multiple
interfaces have addresses with overlapping/duplicate subnets.

Currently, if two interfaces have addresses in the same subnet, the order
of the prefix route entries is determined by the order in which the
addresses are assigned or the links brought up. Any actions like cycling
an interface up and down changes that order. This set adds a new attribute
for addresses to allow a user to specify the metric of the prefix route
associated with an address giving interface managers better and more
efficient control of the order of prefix routes.

Looks great, series applied, thanks David.
