Bug ID: 294114
Summary: ipfw: nptv6 (with ext_if) fails to react on address
removal
Product: Base System
Version: 14.4-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: pmc@citylink.dinoex.sub.org
To reproduce:
1. sentinel-interface has the current address/prefix, and nptv6 is correctly
translating.
2. now the prefix gets changed, and we configure the interface in two steps:
# ifconfig vtnet0 inet6 <new-address>
# ifconfig vtnet0 inet6 <old-address> -alias
Result: nptv6 does still translate to the old address, and dtrace did not show
an invocation of nptv6_find_prefix().
Analysis/Fix: a comparison in ifaddr_cb() is strictly wrong.
