Subject: [PATCH 3.8 45/81] net:dccp: do not report ICMP redirects to user space

3.8.13.12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Duan Jiong <duanj.fnst@...fujitsu.com>

[ Upstream commit bd784a140712fd06674f2240eecfc4ccae421129 ]

DCCP shouldn't be setting sk_err on redirects as it
isn't an error condition. it should be doing exactly
what tcp is doing and leaving the error handler without
touching the socket.
