This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ipv6: don't count addrconf generated routes against gc limit to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From b3b7f1bdf26ac9593f9e018c7220586fb3d9ce33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 03:33:45 +0100 Subject: ipv6: don't count addrconf generated routes against gc limit commit a3300ef4bbb1f1e33ff0400e1e6cf7733d988f4f upstream. Brett Ciphery reported that new ipv6 addresses failed to get installed because the addrconf generated dsts where counted against the dst gc limit. We don't need to count those routes like we currently don't count administratively added routes. Because the max_addresses check enforces a limit on unbounded address generation first in case someone plays with router advertisments, we are still safe here.
