Commitf784ad3d79("ipv6: do not send RTM_DELADDR for tentative addresses") incorrectly assumes that no RTM_NEWADDR are sent for addresses in tentative state, as this does happen for the standard IPv6 use-case of DAD failure, see the call to ipv6_ifa_notify() in addconf_dad_stop(). So as a result of this change, no RTM_DELADDR is sent after DAD failure for a link-local when strict DAD (accept_dad=2) is configured, or on the next admin down in other cases. The absence of this notification breaks backwards compatibility and causes problems after DAD failure if this notification was being relied on. The solution is to allow RTM_DELADDR to still be sent after DAD failure.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
