The NS for DAD are sent on admin up as long as a valid qdisc is found. A race condition exists by which these packets will not egress the interface if the operational state of the lower device is not yet up. The solution is to delay DAD until the link is operationally up according to RFC2863. Rather than only doing this, follow the existing code checks by deferring IPv6 device initialization altogether. The fix allows DAD on devices like tunnels that are controlled by userspace control plane. The fix has no impact on regular deployments, but means that there is no IPv6 connectivity until the port has been opened in the case of port-based network access control, which should be desirable.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
