Push-remove (introduced in commit 970312f1850) did not handle "ifconfig"
yet, as both "ifconfig" and "ifconfig-ipv6" are handled differently from
all other pushed options.  Since there was no valid use-case to not-push
"ifconfig" (no support on the client side for running IPv6-only) this
was not an issue so far - but with the recent commits to enable ipv6-only
operation it can be a desirable feature.

The implementation is similar to "push-remove ifconfig-ipv6" - namely,
flagging via a new context option (c->options.push_ifconfig_ipv4_blocked)
and then not creating the push statement in "send_push_reply()".

While not truly elegant, it's much less invasive than the alternatives
(storing the list of "push-remove" statements somewhere and then checking
in push_option_ex())

Trac: #1072

Hi,

thanks for taking care of this!
IPv4 settings should all be treated like others and never "assumed to be
there all the time" anymore :)

wrong style: && should go on the next line (unless you can put also the
following condition on the same line).

I know you have simply copy/pasted the code from below, but since at it,
please use the right style and remove useless spaces after of before the
parentheses.

Once the small style glitches above, I can give this patch my ACK.

I tested with my small environment and it does what it says without
breaking other features.


While, I think it is ok to take this patch as it is, as a follow up it
would probably make sense to treat ifconfig and ifconfig-ipv6 like the
other push-remove directives and allow for partial matching. This would
make it identical to pull-filter (I think).


Cheers,

Patch
