From 6732badee0dad467fcc9dd0168af8677b2b1bc2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 13:35:15 -0800 Subject: [IPV6]: Fix addrconf dead lock. We need to release idev->lcok before we call addrconf_dad_stop(). It calls ipv6_addr_del(), which will hold idev->lock. Bug spotted by Yasuyuki KOZAKAI .
