I test the patch,it has the problem Gao feng reported.

How about this:

diff --git a/net/ipv6/addrconf.c b/net/ipv6/addrconf.c
index d5fa5b8..5e2db6e 100644
--- a/net/ipv6/addrconf.c

                        sp_rt = addrconf_dst_alloc(idev, &sp_ifa->addr, false);

                        /* Failure cases are ignored */
