Oh, thank you for finding that, I should've done my homework! Since
it really is just a bug on iproute2 side in openSUSE, I'd rather keep
it in its original state. And since the patch is already pushed, I'm
inclining to reverting it.
Other opinions?
Quoting a colleague of mine working on the network stack:
[this is] a regression in (upstream) iproute2 3.16, fixed in 3.17.
bnc#907093 has been created for it. (Factory is also affected but a
submit request is already on its way.)
So I think we should keep that for those running the buggy 3.16.
