Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: add IFF_NO_ADDRCONF to prevent ipv6 addrconf

This patchset adds IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag for dev->priv_flags
to prevent ipv6 addrconf, as Jiri Pirko's suggestion.

For Bonding it changes to use this flag instead of IFF_SLAVE
flag in Patch 1, and for Teaming and Net Failover it sets
this flag before calling dev_open() in Patch 2 and 3.

Xin Long (3):
  net: add IFF_NO_ADDRCONF and use it in bonding to prevent ipv6
    addrconf
  net: team: use IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag to prevent ipv6 addrconf
  net: failover: use IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag to prevent ipv6 addrconf
