This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled IPv6: only notify protocols if address is completely gone to the 2.6.34-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ipv6-only-notify-protocols-if-address-is-completely-gone.patch and it can be found in the queue-2.6.34 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@kernel.org> know about it. From shemminger@vyatta.com Tue Jul 27 16:57:29 2010 From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 11:33:00 -0700 Subject: IPv6: only notify protocols if address is completely gone To: Emil S Tantilov <emils.tantilov@gmail.com>, "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net>, Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: NetDev <netdev@vger.kernel.org>, "Tantilov, Emil S" <emil.s.tantilov@intel.com>, stable@kernel.org Message-ID: <20100524113300.2ef38e12@nehalam> From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> (cherry picked from commit 8595805aafc8b077e01804c9a3668e9aa3510e89) The notifier for address down should only be called if address is completely gone, not just being marked as tentative on link transition. The code in net-next would case bonding/sctp/s390 to see address disappear on link down, but they would never see it reappear on link up.
