3.8.13.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gao feng <gaofeng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a881ae1f625c599b460cc8f8a7fcb1c438f699ad ] If we disable all of the net interfaces, and enable un-lo interface before lo interface, we already allocated the addrconf dst in ipv6_add_addr. So we shouldn't allocate it again when we enable lo interface. Otherwise the message below will be triggered. unregister_netdevice: waiting for sit1 to become free. Usage count = 1 This problem is introduced by commit 25fb6ca4ed9cad72f14f61629b68dc03c0d9713f "net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up" Signed-off-by: Gao feng <gaofeng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
