            Bug ID: 195197
           Summary: [patch] [netinet6] ipv6 prefix lifetime is not updated
                    for existing address updated through SIOCAIFADDR_IN6
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me

Change prelist_update to be usable by SIOCAIFADDR_IN6

When refreshing an existing ipv6 address pltime and vltime using
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 the prefix lifetime is not updated.

Issue seen on 11.0-CURRENT r271879M with dhcpcd 6.4.3.
My ISP is providing a prefix with a lifetime of 86400 seconds.
dhcpcd uses SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 to update the address with pltime and vltime.
The address lifetime gets refreshed on renewals but the prefix lifetime is not
updated so it expires and the route for the prefix gets deleted.

Attaching several patches trying to solve the problem in different ways.
In both cases, if the prefix exists it will be refreshed.
In case of several addresses for same prefix and different times, prefix time
will be from the last one.

1. prelist_update.patch and prelist_update_long_lines.patch
   Change prelist_update so it can be used by both RA and SIOCAIFADDR_IN6.
   prelist_update_long_lines.patch keeps the long lines for smaller diff.
   prelist_update.patch wraps to 80 columns.

2. Add a separate function in6_prelist_update duplicating some of the code from
prelist_update but doing less work than prelist_update.


Possible to reproduce with ifconfig and two addresses with the same prefix.
ifconfig -L lan0 inet6 2001:DB8::1 pltime 60 vltime 60
repeat
  ifconfig -L lan0 inet6 2001:DB8::2 pltime 1000 vltime 1000

Checking "ndp -p" after 60 seconds will show the prefix 2001:DB8::/64 as
expired.


With dhcpcd:
Before:

# netstat -rn -f inet6
WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::/64           link#1                        U         
lan0
WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::1             link#1                        UHS        
lo0
...


After more than 86400 seconds:

# ifconfig -L lan0 inet6
lan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=8000b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,LINKSTATE>
        inet6 fe80::AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD%lan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet6 WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::1 prefixlen 64 pltime 57257 vltime 57257
        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

# ndp -p
WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::/64 if=lan0
flags=L vltime=0, pltime=0, expired, ref=1
  No advertising router
...

# netstat -rn -f inet6
WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::1             link#1                        UHS        
lo0
...
