Subject: IPv6: fix race between cleanup and add/delete address
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f37ada5b5f6bfb4d251a7f510f249cb855b77b3;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

IPv6: fix race between cleanup and add/delete address

This solves a potential race problem during the cleanup process.
The issue is that addrconf_ifdown() needs to traverse address list,
but then drop lock to call the notifier. The version in -next
could get confused if add/delete happened during this window.
Original code (2.6.32 and earlier) was okay because all addresses
were always deleted.
