Really ?

Nope, I did no mistake.

The bug was really added in commit 4c507d2897bd9b as I said.

Then commit e7219858a just did no change : skb was used before and after
the patch

-                       np->rcv_tclass = ipv6_tclass(ipv6_hdr(skb));
+                       np->rcv_tclass = ipv6_get_dsfield(ipv6_hdr(skb));

How did you get your conclusion ?
