[Bug libc/6589] New: getifaddrs returns entries with invalid ifa_name

- Reply-to: sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org
On a system with ipv6 interfaces of Infiniband devices, getifaddrs returns
interface names for the ib entries as junk. The reason for this is that the
sockaddr_ll structure fails to accommodate 20 byte IB device addresses. By
extending the sll_addr field (currently 8 bytes) to 24 bytes, the issue is solved.
