Subject: [ 20/42] net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up
3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Balakumaran Kannan <kumaran.4353@...il.com>
[ Upstream commit 25fb6ca4ed9cad72f14f61629b68dc03c0d9713f ]
IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
'lo' are lost.
IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from routing
table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when 'lo' is
brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable from the
same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines because of
NDISC packet processing failure.
This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and adding
them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.
==Testing==
Before applying the patch:
