c - Linux IPv6 源地址选择，当接口(interface)有 >1 个 IPv6 地址 : How to deprecate one?

Question

在 Linux 中为传出流量选择 IPv6 源地址的上下文中:

我在接口(interface)上有一些 IPv6 地址。我希望内核选择其中一个作为源 IPv6 地址。我不希望内核选择我将要发送的这个地址作为传出数据包的源地址。

更具体地说，在这个片段中，当 dontUseAsSourceAddressForOutgoingPkts 为真时，我希望内核选择已经在此接口(interface)上的任何其他 IPv6 地址。哪些标志会产生这种效果？如果我为 IPv6 寻址使用了错误的 ifaddrmsg 结构，我应该使用哪一个？

包含更多上下文的片段:

RFC 3484状态:

1. 源地址选择

   <...>

   规则 3:避免使用已弃用的地址。地址 SA 和 SB 具有相同的范围。如果两者之一源地址是“首选”，其中之一是“弃用”(在RFC 2462 意义上的)，然后选择“首选”的那个。

   <...>

rtnetlink(7) man pages简要提及一个名为 ifa_cacheinfo 的结构。

This struct包含两个重要的标志:ifa_valid 和 ifa_prefered。为了将 IPv6 地址标记为已弃用，请将其 prefered_lft 设置为零。此外，通常也将 valid_lft 设置为 0xffffffff(永远)以强调此 IPv6 地址已明确弃用的性质。 p>

/* 
 * You have just put a new IPv6 address on the kernel with
 * net link. You don't want it chosen as the source address
 * of packets leaving this interface if there's at least one
 * other IPv6 address already on this interface.
 *
 * Mark this IPv6 address as Deprecated on this interface,
 * Causing LINUX not to choose it for source address of
 * packets outgoing from this interface when there exists
 * another, non-deprecated IPv6 address on this interface
 */
struct ifa_cacheinfo ci;
// This address is valid forever
ci.ifa_valid = 0xffffffff;
// A prefered ttl of 0 immediately deprecates this IPv6
ci.ifa_preferred = 0;
// <Send this cacheinfo to the kernel using net link>
