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. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
