Avahi uses netlink to determine the list of interfaces and the list of
addresses in the system. When doing so we perform a NLM_F_ROOT search.
Previously this would (incorrectly) return all matches due to a bug in
the kernel decoding of the NLM_F_* flags. Following the commit below
this is now corrected leading the avahi daemon to hang on start:
