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.
