From e2577a065832f2c6d108de2e027891bdb2d78924 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:23:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Send netlink notification when DAD fails If we are managing IPv6 addresses using DHCP, it would be nice for user-space to be notified if an address configured through DHCP fails DAD. Otherwise user-space would have to poll to see whether DAD succeeds. This patch uses the existing notification mechanism and simply hooks it into the DAD failure code path.
