Currently, when the link for $DEV is down, this command succeeds but the
address is removed immediately by DAD (1):
ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800
In the same situation, this will succeed and not remove the address (2):
ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV
ip addr change 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800
The comment in addrconf_dad_begin() when !IF_READY makes it look like
this is the intended behavior, but doesn't explain why:
* If the device is not ready:
* - keep it tentative if it is a permanent address.
* - otherwise, kill it.
We clearly cannot prevent userspace from doing (2), but we can make (1)
work consistently with (2).
addrconf_dad_stop() is only called in two cases: if DAD failed, or to
skip DAD when the link is down. In that second case, the fix is to avoid
deleting the address, like we already do for permanent addresses.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
