[PATCH 3.16 166/178] net: ipv6: send unsolicited NA if enabled for all interfaces

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Jul 16 2017 - 10:42:52 EST


3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Ahern <dsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fc1f8f4f310ac65b1337e2d7ba52ae4ff2b7c849 upstream.

When arp_notify is set to 1 for either a specific interface or for 'all'
interfaces, gratuitous arp requests are sent. Since ndisc_notify is the
ipv6 equivalent to arp_notify, it should follow the same semantics.
Commit 4a6e3c5def13 ("net: ipv6: send unsolicited NA on admin up") sends
the NA on admin up. The final piece is checking devconf_all->ndisc_notify
in addition to the per device setting. Add it.

Fixes: 5cb04436eef6 ("ipv6: add knob to send unsolicited ND on link-layer address change")
