[PATCH net-2.6] [IPV6]: Restore semantics of Routing Header processing.

2007-05-11 Thread YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
The fix for emerging security threats was overkill and it broke basic semantic of IPv6 routing header processing. We should assume RT0 (or even RT2, depends on configuration) as unknown RH type so that we - silently ignore the routing header if segleft == 0, - or, send ICMPv6 Parameter Problem
