From: Heiner Kallweit <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== [ Upstream commit ecab67015ef6e3f3635551dcc9971cf363cc1cd5 ] tmp_prefered_lft is an offset to ifp->tstamp, not now. Therefore age needs to be added to the condition. Age calculation in ipv6_create_tempaddr is different from the one in addrconf_verify and doesn't consider ADDRCONF_TIMER_FUZZ_MINUS. This can cause age in ipv6_create_tempaddr to be less than the one in addrconf_verify and therefore unnecessary temporary address to be generated. Use age calculation as in addrconf_modify to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
