IPv6: Drop the temporary address regen_timer
The randomized interface identifier (rndid) was periodically updated from the regen_timer timer. Simplify the code by updating the rndid only when needed by ipv6_try_regen_rndid(). This makes the follow-up DESYNC_FACTOR fix much simpler. Also it fixes a reference counting error in this error path, where an in6_dev_put was missing: err = addrconf_sysctl_register(ndev); if (err) { ipv6_mc_destroy_dev(ndev); - del_timer(&ndev->regen_timer); snmp6_unregister_dev(ndev); goto err_release; Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.
