If I get this right, it seems to me that this patchset actually consists of two different kind of changes: 1) Not notifying user space on ICMP redirects (net material) 2) Simplify code for updating route in ndisc layer instead of error handlers (net-next) Also, you do the *actual* change in the very last patch, which means that from patch 1 to 5 we're in an inconsistent and buggy state unless we also apply patch number 6. It should actually be the other way around, that you first do the actual change and then migrate users (also commit messages are quite terse). Moreover, just looking at the SCTP part (sctp_err_lookup() function) ... /* RFC 4960, Appendix C. ICMP Handling * * ICMP6) An implementation MUST validate that the Verification Tag * contained in the ICMP message matches the Verification Tag of * the peer. If the Verification Tag is not 0 and does NOT * match, discard the ICMP message. If it is 0 and the ICMP * message contains enough bytes to verify that the chunk type is * an INIT chunk and that the Initiate Tag matches the tag of the * peer, continue with ICMP7. If the ICMP message is too short * or the chunk type or the Initiate Tag does not match, silently * discard the packet. */ ... it seems to me that we would simply ignore such RFC requirements with your patch for the sctp_v6_err() part.
