Currently, ipv6_find_idev returns NULL when ipv6_add_dev fails,
ignoring the specific error value. This results in addrconf_add_dev
returning ENOBUFS in all cases, which is unfortunate in cases such as:
# ip link add dummyX type dummy
# ip link set dummyX mtu 1200 up
# ip addr add 2000::/64 dev dummyX
RTNETLINK answers: No buffer space available
Commit a317a2f19d ("ipv6: fail early when creating netdev named all
or default") introduced error returns in ipv6_add_dev. Before that,
that function would simply return NULL for all failures.

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 Restructured Text 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.
