Subject: [PATCH] IPv6 anycast refcnt fix
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2007 13:04:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <erru08$37g$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
This patch fixes a bug in Linux IPv6 stack which caused anycast address
to be added to a device prior DAD has been completed. This led to
incorrect reference count which resulted in infinite wait for
unregister_netdevice completion on interface removal.
