    ipv6: avoid dad-failures for addresses with NODAD · 66eb9f86
    Mahesh Bandewar authored
    Every address gets added with TENTATIVE flag even for the addresses with
    IFA_F_NODAD flag and dad-work is scheduled for them. During this DAD process
    we realize it's an address with NODAD and complete the process without
    sending any probe. However the TENTATIVE flags stays on the
    address for sometime enough to cause misinterpretation when we receive a NS.
    While processing NS, if the address has TENTATIVE flag, we mark it DADFAILED
    and endup with an address that was originally configured as NODAD with
    DADFAILED.
    
    We can't avoid scheduling dad_work for addresses with NODAD but we can
    avoid adding TENTATIVE flag to avoid this racy situation.
