From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Heiner Kallweit Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Reparent temporary address(es) if global address was deleted from userspace Date: Sun, 06 Apr 2014 21:04:11 +0200 Message-ID: <5341A52B.2070207@web.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "netdev@vger.kernel.org" Return-path: Received: from mout.web.de ([212.227.17.12]:54800 "EHLO mout.web.de" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1754390AbaDFTEY (ORCPT ); Sun, 6 Apr 2014 15:04:24 -0400 Received: from [192.168.178.101] ([84.142.80.96]) by smtp.web.de (mrweb003) with ESMTPSA (Nemesis) id 0M8hxz-1Wt6F3397L-00wGQa for ; Sun, 06 Apr 2014 21:04:22 +0200 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: If the kernel takes care of global and temporary addresses it can happen that the global address is deleted from userspace, e.g. by network managers in case the link goes (temporarily) down. In addition to the then orphaned temporary address(es) the next RA will create a new temporary address. Therefore we might end up with more than one non-deprecated temporary address for the same prefix for a longer period of time (>regen_advance). According to RfC 4941 sect. 3.4 this should not happen. Fix this by reparenting orphaned temporary addresses.
