From d016b4a3562b745fd9fa387a47d8de62ccd7e241 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matwey V. Kornilov" Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 21:19:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: core: netpoll: Enable netconsole IPv6 link local address There is no reason to discard using source link local address when remote netconsole IPv6 address is set to be link local one.
