It is important that we only assign dev-&gt;ip{,6}_ptr
only after all portions of the inet{,6} are setup.

Otherwise we can receive packets before the multicast
spinlocks et al. are initialized.

Although the menu dependencies in net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig
guard the entries in that file from the Kconfig GUI, this does
not prevent them from being selected still via "make oldconfig"
when IPV6 etc. is disabled.

So add explicit dependencies.

<title>[IPV6]: Fix IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS getsockopt().</title>

<id>befffe901649e2cc421d0d150c4379d01658cf6b</id>
<content type='text'>
&gt; Relevant standard (RFC 3493) notes:
&gt;
&gt;    The IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS option may be used with getsockopt() to
&gt;    determine the hop limit value that the system will use for subsequent
&gt;    unicast packets sent via that socket.
&gt;
&gt; I don't reckon -1 could be the hop limit value.

-1 means un-initialized.

&gt; IMHO, the value from
&gt; case 1 (if socket is connected to some destination), otherwise case 2
&gt; (if bound to a scope interface) or ultimately the default hop limit
&gt; ought to be returned instead, as it will be most often correct, while
&gt; the current behavior is always wrong, unless setsockopt() has been used
&gt; first. I don't if some people may think doing a route lookup in
&gt; getsockopt might be overly expensive, but at least the two other cases
&gt; should be ok, particularly the last one.

The following patch seems to work for me, but this code has behaved this
way for a while, so don't know if it will break any existing apps.

If we come to node we'd already marked as seen and it's not a part of path
(i.e. we don't have a loop right there), we already know that it isn't a
part of any loop, so we don't need to revisit it.

That speeds the things up if some chain is refered to from several places
and kills O(exp(table size)) worst-case behaviour (without sleeping,
at that, so if you manage to self-LART that way, you are SOL for a long
time)...

The hard header cache is in the main output path, so using
seqlock instead of reader/writer lock should reduce overhead.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
