net/ipv6: allow sysctl to change link-local address generation mode
The address generation mode for IPv6 link-local can only be configured by netlink messages. This patch adds the ability to change the address generation mode via sysctl. v1 -> v2 Removed the rtnl lock and switch to use RCU lock to iterate through the netdev list. v2 -> v3 Removed the addrgenmode variable from the idev structure and use the systcl storage for the flag. Simplifed the logic for sysctl handling by removing the supported for all operation. Added support for more types of tunnel interfaces for link-local address generation. Based the patches from net-next. v3 -> v4 Removed unnecessary whitespace changes. Signed-off-by: Felix Jia <felix.jia@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
