Some DHCP6 servers send a unstable vltime even when configured to send a static one (hello Kea). We only really care if the address is going away or is new, so only set NEW for this. When binding addresses, ignore ones marked NEW+STALE+REQUEST when they are a Prefix Delegation as these are never added to an interface and as such we don't want to promote the log level to LOG_INFO when renewing. Fixes #558.

I showed that the pltime and vltime were unchanged between consecutive DHCPv6 lease

Don't consider vltime when searching for an address.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Clear IPV6_AF_ADDED after deleting the requested address.
When prefix_vltime == 0, this branch calls ipv6_deleteaddr(ia) but leaves IPV6_AF_ADDED set. If the same requested address receives a non-zero lifetime later, ipv6_addaddr() re-adds it with the stale flag. The BSD address sink then skips its initial infinite-lifetime installation, so the inherited prefix route can expire with the address lifetime on affected BSD kernels.
Keep the request entry by returning 0, but clear IPV6_AF_ADDED before returning.
Proposed fix
if (ia->flags & IPV6_AF_REQUEST) {
- return ia->flags & IPV6_AF_REQUEST ? 0 : -1;
+ ia->flags &= ~IPV6_AF_ADDED;
+ return 0;
}
+return -1;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
