It seems the inet6_ifinfo_notify function placed in "net/ipv6/addrconf.c" is notifying the wrong netlink group (RTNLGRP_IPV6_IFADDR) with ifinfo structure. So I suggest the correction below (RTNLGRP_IPV6_IFINFO takes the place of RTNLGRP_IPV6_IFADDR): void inet6_ifinfo_notify(int event, struct inet6_dev *idev) { ... err = rtnl_notify(skb, net, 0, RTNLGRP_IPV6_IFINFO, NUL, GFP_ATOMIC); ... errout: if (err < 0) rtnl_set_sk_err(net, RTNLGRP_IPV6_IFINFO, err); } Regards, Eduardo Panisset.
