David Ahern ff7883ea60 net: ipv6: Make inet6addr_validator a blocking notifier
inet6addr_validator chain was added by commit 3ad7d2468f ("Ipvlan
should return an error when an address is already in use") to allow
address validation before changes are committed and to be able to
fail the address change with an error back to the user. The address
validation is not done for addresses received from router
advertisements.

Handling RAs in softirq context is the only reason for the notifier
chain to be atomic versus blocking. Since the only current user, ipvlan,
of the validator chain ignores softirq context, the notifier can be made
blocking and simply not invoked for softirq path.

The blocking option is needed by spectrum for example to validate
resources for an adding an address to an interface.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
