Marcus Huewe a11a7f71ca ipv6: addrconf: fix generation of new temporary addresses
Under some circumstances it is possible that no new temporary addresses
will be generated.

For instance, addrconf_prefix_rcv_add_addr() indirectly calls
ipv6_create_tempaddr(), which creates a tentative temporary address and
starts dad. Next, addrconf_prefix_rcv_add_addr() indirectly calls
addrconf_verify_rtnl(). Now, assume that the previously created temporary
address has the least preferred lifetime among all existing addresses and
is still tentative (that is, dad is still running). Hence, the next run of
addrconf_verify_rtnl() is performed when the preferred lifetime of the
temporary address ends. If dad succeeds before the next run, the temporary
address becomes deprecated during the next run, but no new temporary
address is generated.

In order to fix this, schedule the next addrconf_verify_rtnl() run slightly
before the temporary address becomes deprecated, if dad succeeded.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
