From a963a37d384d71ad43b3e9e79d68d42fbe0901f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2013 04:15:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: ip6_sk_dst_check() must not assume ipv6 dst It's possible to use AF_INET6 sockets and to connect to an IPv4 destination. After this, socket dst cache is a pointer to a rtable, not rt6_info. ip6_sk_dst_check() should check the socket dst cache is IPv6, or else various corruptions/crashes can happen.
