From 3d171f3907329d4b1ce31d5ec9c852c5f0269578 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lubomir Rintel Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 13:47:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: always add flag an address that failed DAD with DADFAILED The userspace needs to know why is the address being removed so that it can perhaps obtain a new address. Without the DADFAILED flag it's impossible to distinguish removal of a temporary and tentative address due to DAD failure from other reasons (device removed, manual address removal).
