Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ipv6: lower ndisc notifier priority below addrconf
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 15:51:02 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170808215102.33798-1-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)
ndisc_notify is used to send unsolicited neighbor advertisements
(e.g., on a link up). Currently, the ndisc notifier is run before the
addrconf notifer which means NA's are not sent for link-local addresses
which are added by the addrconf notifier.
Fix by lowering the priority of the ndisc notifier. Setting the priority
to ADDRCONF_NOTIFY_PRIORITY - 5 means it runs after addrconf and before
the route notifier which is ADDRCONF_NOTIFY_PRIORITY - 10.
