Sorry, I had to revert.

Please fix this warning, test your patch, and resubmit it.

net/ipv6/ip6_output.c: In function ‘ip6_dst_lookup_tail’:
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:936: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘ip6_route_get_saddr’ from incompatible pointer type
include/net/ip6_route.h:87: note: expected ‘struct in6_addr *’ but argument is of type ‘struct dst_entry **’

Thanks.
