X-Debbugs-Cc: 507646@bugs.debian.org
Over at #507646, we stumbled over something that seems like a bug in
the duplicate address detection mechanism of the kernel:
If I add an address to an interface (bridge or physical interface,
does not matter), and then up the iface, then the tentative flag on
the address never gets cleared (look for SEE HERE markers):
khyber:/# ip addr add 2001:41e0:ff38:fffd::5 dev br1 && ip addr show
dev br1 && sleep 10 && ip addr show dev br1 && ip link set br1 up &&
ip addr show dev br1 && sleep 10 && ip addr show dev br1
9: br1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN
link/ether 3e:2b:4a:f3:6a:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 2001:41e0:ff38:fffd::5/128 scope global tentative
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
9: br1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN
link/ether 3e:2b:4a:f3:6a:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 2001:41e0:ff38:fffd::5/128 scope global tentative

inet6 2001:41e0:ff38:fffd::5/128 scope global tentative
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever ^^^^^^^^^ SEE HERE
inet6 fe80::3c2b:4aff:fef3:6ae1/64 scope link tentative
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
9: br1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/ether 3e:2b:4a:f3:6a:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever ^^^^^^^^^ SEE HERE
inet6 fe80::3c2b:4aff:fef3:6ae1/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
If I first up the interface, then add the address, it works as
expected (look for SEE HERE markers)
khyber:/# ip addr show dev br1 && ip link set br1 up && ip addr show
dev br1 && ip addr add 2001:41e0:ff38:fffd::5 dev br1 && ip addr
show dev br1 && sleep 10 && ip addr show dev br1

inet6 fe80::3c2b:4aff:fef3:6ae1/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
I cannot reproduce this with a sit tunnel device, which seems
logical as DAD/tentative states are not used in a point-to-point
context, I think.
