Previously, when multiple routers send RAs with the same preference,
then the kernel merges routes with the same gateway address:
===
default proto ra metric 1024 expires 595sec pref medium
nexthop via fe80::200:10ff:fe10:1060 dev enp0s9 weight 1
nexthop via fe80::200:10ff:fe10:1061 dev enp0s9 weight 1
===
This causes IPv6 Conformance Test v6LC.2.2.11 failure, as reported in #33470.
To avoid the coalescing issue, we can use nexthop, as suggested by Ido Schimmel:

> BTW, you can avoid the coalescing problem by using the nexthop API.
> # ip nexthop add id 1 via fe80::200:10ff:fe10:1060 dev enp0s9
> # ip -6 route add default nhid 1 expires 600 proto ra
> # ip nexthop add id 2 via fe80::200:10ff:fe10:1061 dev enp0s9
> # ip -6 route append default nhid 2 expires 600 proto ra
> # ip -6 route
> fe80::/64 dev enp0s9 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
> default nhid 1 via fe80::200:10ff:fe10:1060 dev enp0s9 proto ra metric 1024 expires 563sec pref medium
> default nhid 2 via fe80::200:10ff:fe10:1061 dev enp0s9 proto ra metric 1024 expires 594sec pref medium
Fixes#33470.

- fix verifiers in test_router_preference() to make them actually check
if unnecessary routes are removed,
- stop radv in test_ndisc_vs_static_route() before checking if the static
route is preserved even when the router sends a RA with zero lifetime,
- make verifiers in NetworkdIPv6PrefixTests stricter.
Follow-up for 451c2baf30.
With the commits, reloading .network files does not release previously
acquired DHCP lease and friends if possible.
On graceful reconfigure triggered by the reload, the interface may
acquire a new DHCPv4 lease earlier than DHCPv6 lease. In that case,
the check will fail as it is done with the new DHCPv4 lease and old
DHCPv6 lease, which does not contain any IPv6 DNS servers or so.
So, when switching from no -> yes, we need to wait a new lease with DNS
servers or so. To achieve that, we need to clean reconfigure the interface.
Follow-up for 451c2baf30.
With the commits, reloading .network files does not release previously
acquired DHCP lease and friends if possible. If previously a DHCP client
was configured as not requesting DNS servers or so, then the previously
acquired lease might not contain any DNS servers. In that case, if the
new .network file enables UseDNS=, then the interface should enter the
configured state after a new lease is acquired. To achieve that, we need
to reset the flags.
With this change, the workaround applied to the test by the commit
451c2baf30 can be dropped.
E.g. when a .network file is updated, but DHCP setting is unchanged, it
is not necessary to drop acquired DHCP lease.
So, let's not stop DHCP client and friends in link_reconfigure_impl(),
but stop them later when we know they are not necessary anymore.
Still DHCP clients and friends are stopped and leases are dropped when
the explicit reconfiguration is requested
Currently, if for example a traffic control object already exist, networkd
will silently do nothing, even if the settings in the network file for the
traffic control object have changed. Let's instead replace the object if it
already exists so that new settings from the network file are applied as
expected.
Fixes#31226
We usually configure a test rule with a unique priority. Hence, finding
rule by priority reduces the lines of output, and we can debug easily.
Also print short comments on check. That's helpful when the check is
called several times.
That indicates the interface name in 'iif' or 'oif' cannot be resolved
when 'ip rule' command is invoked. That's natural when networkd fail to
remove rule but the corresponding interface is already removed.
To make not the residual rules interfere subsequent test cases, let's
ignore the flag and actually remove unwanted rules.
Add a test for the new bridge netlink attributes IFLA_BR_FDB_N_LEARNED and
IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_LEARNED.

Previously, we did not set lifetime for redirect route, and redirect
routes were removed only when received a RA from the target address.
Thus, routes that redirect on-link addresses were never removed.
RFCs mention nothing about the lifetime of redirection. But the previous
implementation does not pass the IPv6 Core Conformance Tests.
This makes
- remember all received RAs and manage them by the sender address
(previously, remembered only one with the highest preference),
- then use the router lifetime as one for redirect route,
- remove redirect route also when the router corresponds to the sender
address is dropped (previously, considered only target address).
Note, even if we recieve a new RA, we do not update existing redirect
routes. The lifetime of the redirect route is updated only when a new
Redirect message is received.
Closes#32527.
