From 8017a0d307e03f8a9d4ec192f7ea6e4699b0ee0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Bj=C3=B8rn=20Mork?= Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2020 23:14:49 +0530 Subject: ipv6: addrconf: use stable address generator for ARPHRD_NONE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a new address generator mode, using the stable address generator with an automatically generated secret. This is intended as a default address generator mode for device types with no EUI64 implementation. The new generator is used for ARPHRD_NONE interfaces initially, adding default IPv6 autoconf support to e.g. tun interfaces. If the addrgenmode is set to 'random', either by default or manually, and no stable secret is available, then a random secret is used as input for the stable-privacy address generator. The secret can be read and modified like manually configured secrets, using the proc interface. Modifying the secret will change the addrgen mode to 'stable-privacy' to indicate that it operates on a known secret. Existing behaviour of the 'stable-privacy' mode is kept unchanged. If a known secret is available when the device is created, then the mode will default to 'stable-privacy' as before. The mode can be manually set to 'random' but it will behave exactly like 'stable-privacy' in this case. The secret will not change.
