For this patch, I was too lazy to dig the history, it looks like this is caused by the following commit: commit c15b1ccadb323ea50023e8f1cca2954129a62b51 Author: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 27 18:28:07 2014 +0100 ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe trinity" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
