with zfs 28 patches applied (though it should not matter)
>Description:
erroneous 'ifconfig gifX create' (on a wrong gif interface) clears
existing IP assignments (which of course destroys all tcp connections using it)
this seems like a regression from 8.1
>How-To-Repeat:
# ifconfig gif5 create
# ifconfig gif5 tunnel 172.16.0.1 172.31.255.254
# ifconfig gif5 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
# ifconfig gif5
gif5: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1280
tunnel inet 172.16.0.1 --> 172.31.255.254
inet 10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xff000000
options=1<ACCEPT_REV_ETHIP_VER>
# ping 10.0.0.2 # just to verify it works, even if it should not matter
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=27.267 ms
# ifconfig gif5 create
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required
# ifconfig gif5
gif5: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1280
tunnel inet 172.16.0.1 --> 172.31.255.254
options=1<ACCEPT_REV_ETHIP_VER>
