From cde5c18388dd75aa24d905c2ad56d8568c5f9bb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 15:43:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add link-local, sit and loopback address with INFINITY_LIFE_TIME MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In the past the IFA_PERMANENT flag indicated, that the valid and preferred lifetime where ignored. Since change 515c926c1ca844 ("ipv6 addrconf: fix preferred lifetime state-changing behavior while valid_lft is infinity") we honour at least the preferred lifetime on those addresses. As such the valid lifetime gets recalculated and updated to 0. If loopback address is added manually this problem does not occur. Also if NetworkManager manages IPv6, those addresses will get added via inet6_rtm_newaddr and thus will have a correct lifetime, too.
