[PATCH 3.16 016/305] ipv6, token: allow for clearing the current device token

Show all headers | View raw

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

commit 47e27d5e92c46a3a62d4dfd8895b1ddb8613f531 upstream.

The original tokenized iid support implemented via f53adae4eae5 ("net: ipv6:
add tokenized interface identifier support") didn't allow for clearing a
device token as it was intended that this addressing mode was the only one
active for globally scoped IPv6 addresses. Later we relaxed that restriction
via 617fe29d45bd ("net: ipv6: only invalidate previously tokenized addresses"),
and we should also allow for clearing tokens as there's no good reason why
it shouldn't be allowed.

Fixes: 617fe29d45bd ("net: ipv6: only invalidate previously tokenized addresses")
