Cover letter [PATCH iproute2-next 0/2] ip: Support IP address protocol
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be assigned a protocol value that indicates the provenance of the IP address. The attribute is modeled after ip route protocols, and essentially allows the administrator or userspace stack to tag addresses in some way that makes sense to the actor in question. Support for this feature was merged with commit 47f0bd503210 ("net: Add new protocol attribute to IP addresses"), for kernel 5.18.
In this patchset, add support for setting the protocol attribute at IP address addition, replacement, and listing requests.
In patch #1, the code is added. The commit message at the patch lists an example session including JSON output. In patch #2, add the corresponding man page coverage.
