Since commit3e6a0243ff("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation."), addrconf_gre_config() has stopped handling IP6GRE devices specially and just calls the regular addrconf_addr_gen() function to create their link-local IPv6 addresses. We can thus avoid using addrconf_gre_config() for IP6GRE devices and use the normal IPv6 initialisation path instead (that is, jump directly to addrconf_dev_config() in addrconf_init_auto_addrs()). See commit3e6a0243ff("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation.") for a deeper explanation on how and why GRE devices started handling their IPv6 link-local address generation specially, why it was a problem, and why this is not even necessary in most cases (especially for GRE over IPv6).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
