3.6.11.3 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christoph Paasch [ Upstream commit 50a75a8914539c5dcd441c5f54d237a666a426fd ] Tetja Rediske found that if the host receives an ICMPv6 redirect message after sending a SYN+ACK, the connection will be reset. He bisected it down to 093d04d (ipv6: Change skb->data before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect), but the origin of the bug comes from ec18d9a26 (ipv6: Add redirect support to all protocol icmp error handlers.). The bug simply did not trigger prior to 093d04d, because skb->data did not point to the inner IP header and thus icmpv6_notify did not call the correct err_handler. This patch adds the missing "goto out;" in tcp_v6_err. After receiving an ICMPv6 Redirect, we should not continue processing the ICMP in tcp_v6_err, as this may trigger the removal of request-socks or setting sk_err(_soft).
