3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sabrina Dubroca <s...@queasysnail.net>
commit a03dc36bdca6b614651fedfcd8559cf914d2d21d upstream.
Commit 6d0bfe226116 ("net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.")
contains an error in the cleanup path of inet6_init(): when
proto_register(&pingv6_prot, 1) fails, we try to unregister
&pingv6_prot. When rawv6_init() fails, we skip unregistering
&pingv6_prot.
Example of panic (triggered by faking a failure of
proto_register(&pingv6_prot, 1)):
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
[...]
RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x79/0x160
