    Subject[PATCH 3.16 053/134] net: ipv6: send unsolicited NA on admin up
    3.16.47-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com>

    commit 4a6e3c5def13c91adf2acc613837001f09af3baa upstream.

    ndisc_notify is the ipv6 equivalent to arp_notify. When arp_notify is
    set to 1, gratuitous arp requests are sent when the device is brought up.
    The same is expected when ndisc_notify is set to 1 (per ndisc_notify in
    Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt). The NA is not sent on NETDEV_UP
    event; add it.

    Fixes: 5cb04436eef6 ("ipv6: add knob to send unsolicited ND on link-layer address change")
