Hi All,

This morning I was testing a kernel build from Linus' tree as of Linux
v3.17-7639-g90eac7eee2f4.  When I rebooted my test machines, I
couldn't ssh back into any of them.  I poked around a bit and noticed
that it seems the iptables rules weren't getting loaded properly.
Traffic out worked fine, and I could ping the machine, but other
incoming traffic was blocked.  Then I saw that the ip6t_REJECT and
ip6t_rpfilter modules were not being loaded on the bad kernel.
Looking in dmesg I see:

[   14.619028] nf_reject_ipv6: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
[   14.619125] nf_reject_ipv6: Unknown symbol ip6_local_out (err 0)

So I did a git bisect and it pointed to this patch:

[jwboyer@...wan linux]$ git bisect bad
91c1a09b33c902e20e09d9742560cc238a714de5 is the first bad commit
commit 91c1a09b33c902e20e09d9742560cc238a714de5

    netfilter: kill nf_send_reset6() from include/net/netfilter/ipv6/nf_reject.h

    nf_send_reset6() now resides in net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6.c

    Fixes: c8d7b98 ("netfilter: move nf_send_resetX() code to
nf_reject_ipvX modules")

I've attached the bisect log.

Perhaps one too many header files were trimmed in this case?
