When the preferred lifetime of a prefix assigned by IPv6 autoconfiguration
(router solicitation) becomes negative How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure an IPv6 router to advertise a prefix with a short preferred lifetime, e.g. 0. 2. Wait for the IPv6 autoconfiguration process to complete for an interface <if> connected to a link where that router advertises. 3. Run ip -6 show dev <if>. Actual results: The preferred lifetime will have become negative, but it is printed as an unsigned integer. The preferred lifetime to be displayed will therefore be close to UINT_MAX.
