I see. I think it should be addressed separately from this patchset,
though, as the function needs to be completely rewritten even for IPv4
and IPv6 can be handled alongside it.

I'll change the patch description in v2, the current wording is not
correct. I don't think that fixing the bug should be a prerequisite for
this patchset, the problem is already there and this patchset doesn't
change that.
