It was reported that Commit 299603e8370a93dd5d8e8d800f0dff1ce2c53d36
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support")
triggered a compiler warning in ipv6_exthdrs_len():
net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c: In function ‘ipv6_gro_complete’:
net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c:178:24: warning: ‘optlen’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-u
opth = (void *)opth + optlen;
^
net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c:164:22: note: ‘optlen’ was declared here
int len = 0, proto, optlen;
^
Note that there was no real bug here - optlen was never uninitialized
before use. (Was the version of gcc I used smarter to not complain?)

What is this patch against?
It gets rejects when I try to apply it both with Hannes's patch reverted
and without it reverted.

It was against net-next of a few days old (and w/o Hannes's patch):
commit 68536053600425c24aba031c45f053d447eedd9c (netnext/master)
Author: Florent Fourcot <florent.fourcot@enst-bretagne.fr>
Date: Thu Dec 12 17:07:58 2013 +0100
ipv6: fix incorrect type in declaration
I just did a git pull and will submit one against the latest net-next.
(I did not see any conflict though. Not sure why you can't apply the patch.)
