Use addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in addrconf_gre_config() so that we don't just get the inet6_dev, but also install the default ff00::/8 multicast route. Before commit3e6a0243ff("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation."), the multicast route was created at the end of the function by addrconf_add_mroute(). But this code path is now only taken in one particular case (gre devices not bound to a local IP address and in EUI64 mode). For all other cases, the function exits early and addrconf_add_mroute() is not called anymore. Using addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in addrconf_gre_config(), fixes the problem as it will create the default multicast route for all gre devices. This also brings addrconf_gre_config() a bit closer to the normal netdevice IPv6 configuration code (addrconf_dev_config()).

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 reStructuredText 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.
