Eric Dumazet e64e469b9a ipv6: addrconf: break critical section in addrconf_verify_rtnl()
Heiner reported a lockdep splat [1]

This is caused by attempting GFP_KERNEL allocation while RCU lock is
held and BH blocked.

We believe that addrconf_verify_rtnl() could run for a long period,
so instead of using GFP_ATOMIC here as Ido suggested, we should break
the critical section and restart it after the allocation.

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.
