VSLAAC is replaced by the SLAAC starting from /64 
 
if (pinfo->prefix_len == 64) {
64_bit_addr_gen
} else if (pinfo->prefix_len > 0 && pinfo->prefix_len < 64 &&
              in6_dev->cnf.variable_slaac) {
variable_bit_addr_gen
 } else {
             net_dbg_ratelimited("IPv6: Prefix with unexpected length %d\n",
                                            pinfo->prefix_len);
 }

I meant to say that this is no longer an issue in VSLAAC particular context, considering /128 bits the "bottom".
In this version of the patch, we are not reaching the /128 bit "bottom".
