6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e898e4cd1aab271ca414f9ac6e08e4c761f6913c ]
net->dev_base_seq and ipv6.dev_addr_genid are monotonically increasing.
If we XOR their values, we could miss to detect if both values
were changed with the same amount.
Fixes: 63998ac24f83 ("ipv6: provide addr and netconf dump consistency info")
