SubjectRe: [PATCH net-next V10] net: Variable SLAAC: SLAAC with prefixes of arbitrary length in PIO

VSLAAC is replaced by the SLAAC starting from /64

if (pinfo->prefix_len == 64) {
64_bit_addr_gen
} else if (pinfo->prefix_len > 0 && pinfo->prefix_len < 64 &&
in6_dev->cnf.variable_slaac) {
variable_bit_addr_gen
} else {
net_dbg_ratelimited("IPv6: Prefix with unexpected length %d\n",
pinfo->prefix_len);
}

I meant to say that this is no longer an issue in VSLAAC particular context, considering /128 bits the "bottom".
In this version of the patch, we are not reaching the /128 bit "bottom".

Best regards,
Dmytro SHYTYI.
