Sometimes it's needed to have "ip address show" list only addresses
with certain flags not being set, e.g. in network scripts.
As an example one might want to exclude addresses in "tentative"
or "deprecated" state.
Support listing addresses with flags tentative, deprecated, dadfailed
not being set by prefixing the respective flag with a minus.

This option was used only for 'ip link', but it can be useful to have it for
'ip address'. Thus it is possible to display link details and addresses with one
command.
Example:
$ ip -d a ls dev gre1

This patch avoids a full link wildump request when the user has specified
a single link. Uses RTM_GETLINK without the NLM_F_DUMP flag.
This helps on a system with large number of interfaces.
This patch currently only uses the link ifindex in the filter.
Hoping to provide a subsequent kernel patch to do link dump filtering on
other attributes in the kernel.
In iplink_get, to be safe, this patch currently sets the answer buffer
size to the max size that libnetlink rtnl_talk can copy. The current api
does not seem to provide a way to indicate the answer buf size.

o "min_tx_rate" option has been added for minimum Tx rate. Hence, for
consistent naming, "max_tx_rate" option has been introduced for maximum
Tx rate.
o Change in v2: "rate" can be used along with "max_tx_rate".
When both are specified, "max_tx_rate" should override.
o Change in v3:
* IFLA_VF_RATE: When IFLA_VF_RATE is used, and user has given only one of
min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, reading of previous rate limits is done in
userspace instead of in kernel space before ndo_set_vf_rate.
* IFLA_VF_TX_RATE: When IFLA_VF_TX_RATE is used, min_tx_rate is always read
in kernel space. This takes care of below scenarios:
(1) when old tool sends "rate" but kernel is new (expects min and max)
(2) when new tool sends only "rate" but kernel is old (expects only "rate")
o Change in v4 as suggested by Stephen Hemminger:
* As per iproute policy, input and output formats should match. Changing display
of max_tx_rate and min_tx_rate options accordingly.

Kernel is being extended to support flag IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR also for
deletion of addresses. This will allow a userspace application to indicate
that for a global address the kernel should delete all related temporary
addresses as well.
"ip addr del" internally calls ipaddr_modify which silently accepts
any flag provided on the command line already, independent of the
actual command.
Therefore only the usage documentation needs to be extended.

This is useful to know the 'real' status of an interface (the flag IFF_PROMISC
is exported by the kernel only when the user set it explicitly, for example it
will not be exported when a tcpdump is running).
This information will be displayed when '-details' is provided by the user.

The kernel supports a link mode attribute (which can be dormant or default).
This attribute is used to control how the link watch engine
handles operstate transistion.
This adds a new parameter to ip link command to allow setting and
displaying the value.
---
Both rtnl_talk and rtnl_dump had a callback for handling portions
of netlink message that do not match the correct pid or seq.
But this callback was never used by any part of iproute2 so remove
it.
Add ip link command parsing for VF spoof checking enable/disable
V2 - Fixed problem with parsing of dump info on kernels that don't
support the spoof checking option and also wrapped the ifla_vf_info
structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from directly
accessing the structure
V3 - Improved parsing of vfinfo
V4 - Put Makefile back to proper list of subdirs
V5 - Remove struct ifla_vf_info, it is only used by the kernel
V6 - Make sure spoof check is reported by the driver - rtnl will set
it to -1 to indicate driver didn't report a value.

Add the group keyword to ip link set, which has the following meaning:
If both a group and a device name are pressent, we change the device's
group to the specified one. If only a group is present, then the
operation specified by the rest of the command should apply on an entire
group, not a single device.
So, to set eth0 to the default group, one would use
ip link set dev eth0 group default
Conversely, to set all the devices in the default group down, use
ip link set group default down

# ip -loops 0 addr flush dev eth2

The old 'ip addr flush' logic had several flaws:
* It reversed logic for primary v/s secondary flags
(though, it sort of worked right anyway)
* The code tried to remove secondaries and then primaries,
but in practice, it always removed one primary per loop,
which not at all efficient.
* The filter logic in the core would run only the first
filter in most cases.
* If you used '-s -s', the ifa_flags member would be
modified, which could make future filters fail
to function fine.
This patch attempts to fix all of these issues.

Unless promote_secondaries has been active deleting the primary address of
an interface will automatically delete all the secondary addresses.
In the case where ip flush requests the primary then secondary addresses to
be removed - which is the order the addresses are returned by the kernel -
this will cause an error as by the time the request to remove a secondary
address is made it will be missing as it will have been deleted in the
course of deleting the primary address.
This approach to solving this problem orders requests for the
deletion of secondary addresses before primary ones providing
rtnl_dump_filter_l(), a version of rtnl_dump_filter() that
iterates over a list of filters. And by providing two specialised
filters print_addrinfo_secondary() and print_addrinfo_primary().
rtnl_dump_filter_l() first iterates over all addresses using
print_addrinfo_secondary(), which appends secondary addresses to the
request buffer. Then again using print_addrinfo_primary() which appends
primary addresses.
This approach should work regardless of it promote_secondaries is
active or not. And regardless of if any primary of secondary addresses
are present or not.

(router solicitation) becomes negative
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure an IPv6 router to advertise a prefix with a short preferred
lifetime, e.g. 0.
2. Wait for the IPv6 autoconfiguration process to complete for an interface
<if> connected to a link where that router advertises.
3. Run ip -6 show dev <if>.
Actual results:
The preferred lifetime will have become negative, but it is printed as an
unsigned integer. The preferred lifetime to be displayed will therefore be
close to UINT_MAX.
