ipv6: prevent a possible race condition with lifetimes
valid_lft, prefered_lft and tstamp are always accessed under the lock "lock" in other places. Reading these without taking the lock may result in inconsistencies regarding the calculation of the valid and preferred variables since decisions are taken on these fields for those variables.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
