When IPv6 link local address is removed, if it matches with the default
GID, default GID(s)s gets removed which may not be a desired behavior.
This behavior is introduced by refactor work in Fixes tag.
When IPv6 link address is removed, removing its equivalent RoCEv2 GID
which exactly matches with default RoCEv2 GID, is right thing to do.
However achieving it correctly requires lot more changes, likely in
roce_gid_mgmt.c and core/cache.c. This should be done as independent
patch.
Therefore, this patch preserves behavior of not deleteing default GIDs.
This is done by providing explicit hint to consider default GID property
using mask and default_gid; similar to add_gid().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
