From 2a38e6d5aed24bb7f0211e0819fac8c32c2b5791 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Wei Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:33:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Set mcast_hops to IPV6_DEFAULT_MCASTHOPS when -1 was given. We need to set np->mcast_hops to it's default value at this moment otherwise when we use it and found it's value is -1, the logic to get default hop limit doesn't take multicast into account and will return wrong hop limit(IPV6_DEFAULT_HOPLIMIT) which is for unicast.
