From c1360e3b483e54a61a36bd2fdb3bfb91a4d2b32a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Bianconi Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 15:34:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iplink_vxlan: take into account preferred_family creating vxlan device Take into account the configured preferred_family if neither saddr or daddr are provided since otherwise vxlan kernel module will use IPv4 as default remote inet family neglecting the one provided by userspace. This behaviour was originally in commit 97d564b90ccb ("vxlan: use preferred address family when neither group or remote is specified"). The issue can be triggered with the following reproducer: $ip -6 link add vxlan1 type vxlan id 42 dev enp0s2 \ proxy nolearning l2miss l3miss $bridge fdb add 46:47:1f:a7:1c:25 dev vxlan1 dst 2000::2 RTNETLINK answers: Address family not supported by protocol Fixes: 1e9b8072de2c ("iplink_vxlan: Get rid of inet_get_addr()") Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger --- ip/iplink_vxlan.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) diff --git a/ip/iplink_vxlan.c b/ip/iplink_vxlan.c index 2bc253fc8..831f39a23 100644 --- a/ip/iplink_vxlan.c +++ b/ip/iplink_vxlan.c @@ -82,6 +82,7 @@ static int vxlan_parse_opt(struct link_util *lu, int argc, char **argv, __u64 attrs = 0; bool set_op = (n->nlmsg_type == RTM_NEWLINK && !(n->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_CREATE)); + bool selected_family = false; saddr.family = daddr.family = AF_UNSPEC; @@ -356,12 +357,26 @@ static int vxlan_parse_opt(struct link_util *lu, int argc, char **argv, int type = (saddr.family == AF_INET) ?
