[Bug 2025382] Re: 22.04 DHCPv6 IPv6 broken (at least on Oracle OCI)

[Nick Rosbrook]

This does seem like a reasonable thing to backport, yeah.

The patch does not actually apply to v249.11 cleanly, but from a quick
look around this is just because of some re-factoring and moving things
around. So it should be simple to adapt the patch for the v249.11
codebase.

I will look into patching and testing this out myself. I don't currently
have access to Oracle OCI, however.

  22.04 DHCPv6 IPv6 broken (at least on Oracle OCI)

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
  kernel 5.15.0-1038-oracle
  systemd 249.11-0ubuntu3.9

  After an update a couple weeks ago, Ubuntu 22.04 can no longer get
  IPv6 via DHCPv6 systemd-networkd, at least on Oracle OCI, but there
  are also other similar reports, e.g.

  https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2487465&p=14146758

  Oracle seems to be aware of the issue but they claim it's a Ubuntu
  22.04 bug:

  https://community.oracle.com/customerconnect/discussion/687610/oci-
  ipv6-address-not-assigned-to-oci-ubuntu-instance-by-dhcp

  The workaround to assign a static IPv6 is not great when managing
  multiple cloud instances.
