f1705ec197e7 ("net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional") added the option to retain user configured addresses on an admin down. A comment to one of the later revisions suggested using the IFA_F_PERMANENT flag rather than adding a user_managed boolean to the ifaddr struct. A side effect of this change is that link local and loopback addresses were also retained which was not part of the objective of the original changes. The fix 70af921db6f8 ("net: ipv6: Do not keep linklocal and loopback addresses") ensures that these are no longer kept. Similarly, the present fix ensures that these addresses are not fixed up, otherwise the incorrect fixup triggers a crash in fib6.
