[ Upstream commit30e2291f61] We recently found that our non-point-to-point tunnels were not generating any IPv6 link local address and instead generating an IPv6 compat address, breaking IPv6 communication on the tunnel. Previously, addrconf_gre_config always would call addrconf_addr_gen and generate a EUI64 link local address for the tunnel. Then commite5dd729460changed the code path so that add_v4_addrs is called but this only generates a compat IPv6 address for non-point-to-point tunnels. I assume the compat address is specifically for SIT tunnels so have kept that only for SIT - GRE tunnels now always generate link local addresses. Fixes:e5dd729460("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address") Signed-off-by: Thomas Winter <Thomas.Winter@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
