The difference between RAWIP and PUREIP is that they generate IPv6 link-local address and IPv6 global address in different ways. RAWIP: ~~~~~~ In the ipv6_generate_eui64() function, using RAWIP will always return 0, which will cause the kernel to automatically generate an IPv6 link-local address in EUI64 format and an IPv6 global address in EUI64 format. PUREIP: ~~~~~~~ After this patch set, when using PUREIP, kernel doesn't generate IPv6 link-local address regardless of which IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE is used.@@ static void addrconf_dev_config(struct net_device *dev) + if (dev->type == ARPHRD_PUREIP) + return;And after recving RA message, kernel iterates over the link-local address that exists for the interface and uses the low 64bits of the link-local address to generate the IPv6 global address. The general process is as follows: ndisc_router_discovery() -> addrconf_prefix_rcv() -> ipv6_generate_eui64() -> ipv6_inherit_eui64()
please add that to the commit message. _______________________________________________ Linux-mediatek mailing list Linux-mediatek@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mediatek
