Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] IPv6: sr: Fix End.X nexthop to use oif.
Hi Reji,
We are going to send the patch to the mailer in the next days.
As for the link local addresses, we can add a check for that and kernel
returns error in case of link local and OIF not provided.
We will add you and Jakub to the recipients when we send the patch.
Best,
Ahmed
