X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15~33 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6732badee0dad467fcc9dd0168af8677b2b1bc2f;p=linux-2.6 [IPV6]: Fix addrconf dead lock. We need to release idev->lcok before we call addrconf_dad_stop(). It calls ipv6_addr_del(), which will hold idev->lock. Bug spotted by Yasuyuki KOZAKAI .
