I changed it to set the tentative flag as it did before, plus clear the dad_failed flag if the device got restarted, triggering DAD to happen again for any tentative address, that was an oversight on my part. I'd still like to know if using this last ifa_flag is going to be an issue, I actually finished a similar patch that uses a new IFA_ADDRFLAGS structure to pass in/out this additional info. -Brian diff --git a/include/linux/if_addr.h b/include/linux/if_addr.h index a60c821..fd97404 100644 --- a/include/linux/if_addr.h +++ b/include/linux/if_addr.h @@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ enum #define IFA_F_NODAD 0x02 #define IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC 0x04 +#define IFA_F_DADFAILED 0x08 #define IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS 0x10 #define IFA_F_DEPRECATED 0x20 #define IFA_F_TENTATIVE 0x40 diff --git a/net/ipv6/addrconf.c b/net/ipv6/addrconf.c index 43b3c9f..c9b3690 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/addrconf.c +++ b/net/ipv6/addrconf.c @@ -1371,12 +1371,14 @@ struct inet6_ifaddr *ipv6_get_ifaddr(struct net *net, const struct in6_addr *add /* Gets referenced address, destroys ifaddr */ -static void addrconf_dad_stop(struct inet6_ifaddr *ifp) +static void addrconf_dad_stop(struct inet6_ifaddr *ifp, int dad_failed) { if (ifp->flags&IFA_F_PERMANENT) { spin_lock_bh(&ifp->lock); addrconf_del_timer(ifp); ifp->flags |= IFA_F_TENTATIVE; + if (dad_failed) + ifp->flags |= IFA_F_DADFAILED; spin_unlock_bh(&ifp->lock); in6_ifa_put(ifp); #ifdef CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY @@ -1422,7 +1424,7 @@ void addrconf_dad_failure(struct inet6_ifaddr *ifp) } } - addrconf_dad_stop(ifp); + addrconf_dad_stop(ifp, 1); } /* Join to solicited addr multicast group. */ @@ -2778,7 +2780,7 @@ static void addrconf_dad_start(struct inet6_ifaddr *ifp, u32 flags) idev->cnf.accept_dad < 1 || !(ifp->flags&IFA_F_TENTATIVE) || ifp->flags & IFA_F_NODAD) { - ifp->flags &= ~(IFA_F_TENTATIVE|IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC); + ifp->flags &= ~(IFA_F_TENTATIVE|IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC|IFA_F_DADFAILED); spin_unlock_bh(&ifp->lock); read_unlock_bh(&idev->lock); @@ -2795,7 +2797,7 @@ static void addrconf_dad_start(struct inet6_ifaddr *ifp, u32 flags) * - otherwise, kill it. */ in6_ifa_hold(ifp); - addrconf_dad_stop(ifp); + addrconf_dad_stop(ifp, 0); return; } @@ -2829,7 +2831,7 @@ static void addrconf_dad_timer(unsigned long data) * DAD was successful */ - ifp->flags &= ~(IFA_F_TENTATIVE|IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC); + ifp->flags &= ~(IFA_F_TENTATIVE|IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC|IFA_F_DADFAILED); spin_unlock_bh(&ifp->lock); read_unlock_bh(&idev->lock);
