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. Dave Jones can reproduce immediate crash with trinity -q -l off -n -c sendmsg -c connect With help from Hannes Frederic Sowa Reported-by: Dave Jones Reported-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.
