Re: [PATCH v2] net: ipv6: Remove addresses for failures with strict DAD

From: Mike Manning <redacted>

If DAD fails with accept_dad set to 2, global addresses and host routes
are incorrectly left in place. Even though disable_ipv6 is set,
contrary to documentation, the addresses are not dynamically deleted
from the interface. It is only on a subsequent link down/up that these
are removed. The fix is not only to set the disable_ipv6 flag, but
also to call addrconf_ifdown(), which is the action to carry out when
disabling IPv6. This results in the addresses and routes being deleted
immediately. The DAD failure for the LL addr is determined as before
via netlink, or by the absence of the LL addr (which also previously
would have had to be checked for in case of an intervening link down
and up). As the call to addrconf_ifdown() requires an rtnl lock, the
logic to disable IPv6 when DAD fails is moved to addrconf_dad_work().
