    ipv4: Return error for RTA_VIA attribute · b6e9e5df
    David Ahern authored
    IPv4 currently does not support nexthops outside of the AF_INET family.
    Specifically, it does not handle RTA_VIA attribute. If it is passed
    in a route add request, the actual route added only uses the device
    which is clearly not what the user intended:
    
      $ ip ro add 172.16.1.0/24 via inet6 2001:db8:1::1 dev eth0
      $ ip ro ls
      ...
      172.16.1.0/24 dev eth0
    
    Catch this and fail the route add:
      $ ip ro add 172.16.1.0/24 via inet6 2001:db8:1::1 dev eth0
      Error: IPv4 does not support RTA_VIA attribute.
