[Users] IPv6 Non-Functional - 3.10.0-1160.80.1.vz7.191.4

[George]

Hello,

Ever since updating to 3.10.0-1160.80.1.vz7.191.4, I've found that IPv6 no longer works, on both the host node and VPS' on it:

[root at test ~]# ping6 google.com
PING google.com(ams17s10-in-x0e.1e100.net (2a00:1450:400e:801::200e)) 56 data bytes
^C
--- google.com ping statistics ---
83 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 82000ms

[root at test ~]#

The only "fix" I know of is to restart networking on the host node - which isn't ideal as it knocks out networking on VPS', and only provides temporary relief anyway.

I'm aware from industry forums that this problem is not unique to me.

I've tried AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu, etc - it happens with all Linux distributions - clean install or not.

Just curious - outside out restarting networking, or downgrading the kernel, does anyone know of a fix for this issue?
