Subject: ipv6: remove old token ipv6 address as soon as possible
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b9651d72d3fc1a9053ae1a323f8407e1f63b436;p=linux-beck.git

ipv6: remove old token ipv6 address as soon as possible

If the tokenized ip address is re-set on an interface we depend on the
arrival of a new router advertisment to call addrconf_verify to clean
up the old address (which valid_lft is now set to 0). Old addresses can
linger around for a longer time if e.g. the source of router advertisments
vanishes.

So, call addrconf_verify immediately after setting the new tokenized
address to get rid of the old tokenized addresses.
