Rabin Vincent a2d6cbb067 ipv6: Fix idev->addr_list corruption
addrconf_ifdown() removes elements from the idev->addr_list without
holding the idev->lock.

If this happens while the loop in __ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is handling the
same element, that function ends up in an infinite loop:

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23s! [test:1719]
  Call Trace:
   ipv6_get_saddr_eval+0x13c/0x3a0
   __ipv6_dev_get_saddr+0xe4/0x1f0
   ipv6_dev_get_saddr+0x1b4/0x204
   ip6_dst_lookup_tail+0xcc/0x27c

Fixes: 6a923934c3 (Revert "ipv6: Revert optional address flusing on ifdown.")

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.
