As I replied to Eric, this warning is probably caused by
the following commit:
commit c15b1ccadb323ea50023e8f1cca2954129a62b51
Author: Hannes Frederic Sowa <han...@stressinduktion.org>
Date: Thu Mar 27 18:28:07 2014 +0100
ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue
HOWEVER, you can definitely argue that the code without your
ASSERT_RTNL() was already broken, it's a little hard to tell without
digging more, that might date back to the beginning of git as you said.
For safety, I think we can simply assume it's that commit to be fixed
so that we don't fix older kernels until someone really reports a bug.
