From: Guillaume Nault gnault@redhat.com
commit 4e914ef063de40397e25a025c70d9737a9e45a8c upstream.
Use addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in addrconf_gre_config() so that we don't just get the inet6_dev, but also install the default ff00::/8 multicast route.
Before commit 3e6a0243ff00 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation."), the multicast route was created at the end of the function by addrconf_add_mroute(). But this code path is now only taken in one particular case (gre devices not bound to a local IP address and in EUI64 mode). For all other cases, the function exits early and addrconf_add_mroute() is not called anymore.
Using addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in addrconf_gre_config(), fixes the problem as it will create the default multicast route for all gre devices. This also brings addrconf_gre_config() a bit closer to the normal netdevice IPv6 configuration code (addrconf_dev_config()).
