Subject: IPV6 source routing patch is still broken?

Looking at the patch that went into 2.6.20.9, I can't see
how type 2 packets get through at all. Shouldn't this part
read:

+       case IPV6_SRCRT_TYPE_2:
+               if (accept_source_route >= 0)
+                       break;
+               kfree_skb(skb);
+               return -1;
+       case IPV6_SRCRT_TYPE_0:
+               if (accept_source_route > 0)
+                       break;
+               kfree_skb(skb);
+               return -1;

And what does this do?

+	switch (hdr->type) {
+#ifdef CONFIG_IPV6_MIP6
+		break;
+#endif

break by itself like that doesn't do anything. If it did
then people with mobile ipv6 enabled would always accept all
source routing. (They should at least know that's a problem.)
