Subject: Re: [PATCH net]: ipv6: drop frames with attached skb->sk in
 forwarding

Should 9ef2e965e554 ["ipv6: drop frames with attached skb->sk in forwarding"]
be considered for stable?
It did address a crash in ip6_skb_dst_mtu that I was seeing in 3.18, where
an incoming packet found an inet_timewait_sock in tcp_v6_early_demux
but was later ip6_forward'ed (the local address that had been used for
the tcp connection had been moved out of the router).

Thanks,
Francesco Ruggeri
