No worries :) BTW similar races exist in other NDISC receive functions, but it's too late today so I'll look at this tomorrow unless someone else wants to have a go at this. ipv6: Prevent DAD races The NDISC receive path has not been written in a way that handles unexpected packets properly. For example, if we get two identical simultaneous NA/NS packets that result in a DAD failure, we may try to delete the same address twice. A similar problem occurs when we get a DAD failure just as we're about to mark an address as having passed DAD. This patch fixes this by using the DADFAILED bit to synchronise the two paths while holding the ifp lock. It relies on the fact that the TENTATIVE bit is always set during DAD, and that the DADFAILED bit is only set on failure.
