Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] ip/ip6_gre: Fix non-point-to-point tunnel not generating IPv6 link local address
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 15:59:41 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230127025941.2813766-3-Thomas.Winter@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230127025941.2813766-1-Thomas.Winter@alliedtelesis.co.nz>

We recently found that our non-point-to-point tunnels were not
generating any IPv6 link local address and instead generating an
IPv6 compat address, breaking IPv6 communication on the tunnel.

Previously, addrconf_gre_config always would call addrconf_addr_gen
and generate a EUI64 link local address for the tunnel.
Then commit e5dd729460ca changed the code path so that add_v4_addrs
is called but this only generates a compat IPv6 address for
non-point-to-point tunnels.

I assume the compat address is specifically for SIT tunnels so
have kept that only for SIT - GRE tunnels now always generate link
local addresses.

Fixes: e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address")
