Subject: [IPV6]: inet6_dev on loopback should be kept until namespace stop.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc9~53^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb867579311a9c1e998d6911af056772c400122a;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[IPV6]: inet6_dev on loopback should be kept until namespace stop.

In the other case it will be destroyed when last address will be removed
from lo inside a namespace. This will break IPv6 in several places. The
most obvious one is ip6_dst_ifdown.
