simple run command with --sysctl for network interface fails after upgrade #47619

Description

after upgrade my Debian from bullseye to bookworm today, my container failed to work.

i traced it down to this simple command:

docker run --rm --sysctl net.ipv4.conf.eth0.forwarding=1 alpine
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: open /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding: no such file or directory: unknown.

but when the container is started, the eth0 conf is right there. maybe network interface renaming timing changed ?
and if i change the interface name to lo or all, the above command works fine.

unfortunately, i have to rely on the interface name: if i use all to set both forwarding=1 and accept_ra=2, the container seems not respected accept_ra setting. in other words, if i use following commands, the containers won't get its IPv6 address form RA. (XXX is my custom IPv6 enabled MacVLAN network)

docker run -it --rm --network XXX --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=2 ubuntu bash
docker run -it --rm --network XXX --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=2 alpine sh

Reproduce

for --sysctl failure:

  1. docker run --rm --sysctl net.ipv4.conf.eth0.forwarding=1 alpine sh will fail

for no IPv6 address from RA (this probably not related to docker, just i can't use all for interface name)

  1. create a IPv6 enabled network XXX
  2. docker run -it --rm --network XXX --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=2 alpine sh will not get IPv6 address from RA

Expected behavior
