X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc9~53^2~5 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb867579311a9c1e998d6911af056772c400122a;p=linux-2.6 [IPV6]: inet6_dev on loopback should be kept until namespace stop. In the other case it will be destroyed when last address will be removed from lo inside a namespace. This will break IPv6 in several places. The most obvious one is ip6_dst_ifdown.
