Subject: ipv6: Do not assign non-valid address on interface.
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d68b82705a4a754e5773f412c6b8f1e65259bc8b;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ipv6: Do not assign non-valid address on interface.

Check the type of the address when adding a new one on interface.
- the unspecified address (::) is always disallowed (RFC4291 2.5.2)
- the loopback address is disallowed unless the interface is (one of)
  loopback (RFC4291 2.5.3).
- multicast addresses are disallowed.
