From 818f1f3e70dd4c8e6f8d59c617857be0fa0fce7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Aring Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 22:46:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add ipv6_addr_prefix_copy MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This patch adds a static inline function ipv6_addr_prefix_copy which copies a ipv6 address prefix(argument pfx) into the ipv6 address prefix. The prefix len is given by plen as bits. This function mainly based on ipv6_addr_prefix which copies one address prefix from address into a new ipv6 address destination and zero all other address bits. The difference is that ipv6_addr_prefix_copy don't get a prefix from an ipv6 address, it sets a prefix to an ipv6 address with keeping other address bits. The use case is for context based address compression inside 6LoWPAN IPHC header which keeping ipv6 prefixes inside a context table to lookup address-bits without sending them.
