Yes I missed the ipv6 module case. It would be very nice to be able to return errors there. Since we initiate the loopback registration from addrconf_init, perhaps we can get away for the time being by checking the error there? Let's also clean up loopback's ipv6 structure in addrconf_cleanup even though it never happens currently :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cheers, -- Visit Openswan at http://www.openswan.org/ Email: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Home Page: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/ PGP Key: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/pubkey.txt
