I've got an IPv6in4 tunnel created by a router on my network.  Everything seems to be working just fine since I get this....

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(2404:6800:4008:c02::65) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2404:6800:4008:c02::65: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=311 ms
64 bytes from 2404:6800:4008:c02::65: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=311 ms
64 bytes from 2404:6800:4008:c02::65: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=306 ms

However, these error messages are piling up in the logs.  These came from a "journalctl -r" command so they are in "reverse" order.....

I don't know how to determine the origin of "Invalid address for specified address family" and/or why a "(IPv6 Commit) scheduled" is happening about every 10 seconds.
