2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Evgeniy Polyakov [IPV6]: Restore IPv6 when MTU is big enough [ Upstream commit: d31c7b8fa303eb81311f27b80595b8d2cbeef950 ] Avaid provided test application, so bug got fixed. IPv6 addrconf removes ipv6 inner device from netdev each time cmu changes and new value is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU (1280 bytes). When mtu is changed and new value is greater than IPV6_MIN_MTU, it does not add ipv6 addresses and inner device bac. This patch fixes that. Tested with Avaid's application, which works ok now.
