From fad8da3e085ddf5e661090033287f1a5d62858fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yasushi Asano Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2013 12:04:19 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6 addrconf: fix preferred lifetime state-changing behavior while valid_lft is infinity Fixed a problem with setting the lifetime of an IPv6 address. When setting preferred_lft to a value not zero or infinity, while valid_lft is infinity(0xffffffff) preferred lifetime is set to forever and does not update. Therefore preferred lifetime never becomes deprecated. valid lifetime and preferred lifetime should be set independently, even if valid lifetime is infinity, preferred lifetime must expire correctly (meaning it must eventually become deprecated) Signed-off-by: Yasushi Asano Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.
