What's the status of this? Did anyone brought this issue to the list of network developers? They iirc don't track bugzilla and prefer mail. JFYI: I added this report to the list of regressions for Linux 4.11. I'll watch this place for further updates on this issue to document progress in my weekly reports, hence to allow me to keep track please send a quick note here in case this issue gets discussed somewhere else.
Yeah, in the future please report networking bugs directly to netdev@vger.kernel.org. For this one, do you know how to reproduce it? And can you help us to match inet6_fill_ifaddr+0x6c/0x230 to the source code with addr2line?
