Also when an IPv6 address is removed the route is NOT removed. This seriously breaks any IPv6 routing protocol which may use a routing socket. It also breaks SCTP as well. >How-To-Repeat: Simply add a new in6 address to an interface. If you have a routing socket open you will see that NO information is given. Then delete the in6 address. When its deleted aka ifconfig xxx inet6 addr -alias then do a netstat -r -n inet6 and you will still find the address. I can also supply a small program that reads the routing socket if you want to run it before the add of the inet6 address. >Fix: Well there are two possibilities. Qing Li can go in can add back the rt_newaddrmsg() calls that he took out in the right places in the refactor'd code he committed around Dec/Jan. Or We can back out these changes before 8 goes out. We need to get this fixed BEFORE the 8 code slush IMO. So if Qing Li does not have time to fix this.. then backing out his changes are the right answer. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
