With commits 35e015e1f577 and a2d3f3e33853, the global 'accept_dad' flag is also taken into account (default value is 1). If either global or per-interface flag is non-zero, DAD will be enabled on a given interface.
This is not backward compatible: before those patches, the user could disable DAD just by setting the per-interface flag to 0. Now, the user instead needs to set both flags to 0 to actually disable DAD. Restore the previous behaviour by setting the default for the global 'accept_dad' flag to 0. This way, DAD is still enabled by default, as per-interface flags are set to 1 on device creation, but setting them to 0 is enough to disable DAD on a given interface. - Before 35e015e1f57a7 and a2d3f3e33853: global per-interface DAD enabled [default] 1 1 yes X 0 no X 1 yes - After 35e015e1f577 and a2d3f3e33853: global per-interface DAD enabled [default] 1 1 yes 0 0 no 0 1 yes 1 0 yes - After this fix: global per-interface DAD enabled 1 1 yes 0 0 no [default] 0 1 yes 1 0 yes Fixes: 35e015e1f577 ("ipv6: fix net.ipv6.conf.all interface DAD handlers") Fixes: a2d3f3e33853 ("ipv6: fix net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_dad behaviour for real") CC: Stefano Brivio <sbri...@redhat.com> CC: Matteo Croce <mcr...@redhat.com> CC: Erik Kline <e...@google.com> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dich...@6wind.com> --- v1 -> v2: reword the commitlog Stefano, I've kept both 'Fixes' lines because technically, the behavior has changed with a2d3f3e33853, not with 35e015e1f577. net/ipv6/addrconf.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/ipv6/addrconf.c b/net/ipv6/addrconf.c index 8a1c846d3df9..ef5b61507b9a 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/addrconf.c +++ b/net/ipv6/addrconf.c @@ -231,7 +231,7 @@ static struct ipv6_devconf ipv6_devconf __read_mostly = { .proxy_ndp = 0, .accept_source_route = 0, /* we do not accept RH0 by default. */ .disable_ipv6 = 0, - .accept_dad = 1, + .accept_dad = 0, .suppress_frag_ndisc = 1, .accept_ra_mtu = 1, .stable_secret = { -- 2.15.0
