Subject: Re: add ip to interface as primary ip address, not secondary ip when
there is alreadly primary ip?
thanks for the pointer
'ip addr' indeed has flag IFA_F_SECONDARY for this, but it is not
available for 'ip addr add', so I made a simple patch for iproute2
ip/ipaddress.c as below:
diff --git a/ip/ipaddress.c b/ip/ipaddress.c

d = *argv;
I also found that I need to patch up the kernel and here is the kernel
patch, it might look silly, but it works as I tested

my test steps:

./ip/ip adrr show eth0 >> /tmp/ipaddr.txt
2
./ip/ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 scope global primary dev eth0

it does seems to achieve what I wanted, any comment on this?
