Jarod Wilson 744fdc8233 ipv6: don't auto-add link-local address to lag ports
Bonding slave and team port devices should not have link-local addresses
automatically added to them, as it can interfere with openvswitch being
able to properly add tc ingress.

Basic reproducer, courtesy of Marcelo:

$ ip link add name bond0 type bond
$ ip link set dev ens2f0np0 master bond0
$ ip link set dev ens2f1np2 master bond0
$ ip link set dev bond0 up
$ ip a s
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens2f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
mq master bond0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0f:53:2f:ea:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: ens2f1np2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
mq master bond0 state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0f:53:2f:ea:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
11: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0f:53:2f:ea:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::20f:53ff:fe2f:ea40/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

(above trimmed to relevant entries, obviously)

$ sysctl net.ipv6.conf.ens2f0np0.addr_gen_mode=0
net.ipv6.conf.ens2f0np0.addr_gen_mode = 0
$ sysctl net.ipv6.conf.ens2f1np2.addr_gen_mode=0
net.ipv6.conf.ens2f1np2.addr_gen_mode = 0

$ ip a l ens2f0np0
2: ens2f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
mq master bond0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0f:53:2f:ea:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::20f:53ff:fe2f:ea40/64 scope link tentative
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ ip a l ens2f1np2
5: ens2f1np2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
mq master bond0 state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0f:53:2f:ea:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::20f:53ff:fe2f:ea40/64 scope link tentative
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Looks like addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() bypasses the original "is
this a slave interface?" check added by commit c2edacf80e, and
results in an address getting added, while w/the proposed patch added,
no address gets added. This simply adds the same gating check to another
code path, and thus should prevent the same devices from erroneously
obtaining an ipv6 link-local address.

Fixes: d35a00b8e3 ("net/ipv6: allow sysctl to change link-local address generation mode")

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.
