Subject: [PATCH]: Can not set the IPV6_PKTINFO option
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:41:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707161341.23419@strip-the-willow> (raw)

[IPv6]: Can not set the IPV6_PKTINFO option

The Linux manpage of ipv6(7) mentions the IPV6_PKTINFO option (and it is defined in header
files), but there is no setsockopt support for it. Aliasing to IPV6_RECVPKTINFO fixes this,
and checking datagram_recv_ctl() in net/ipv6/datagram.c confirms that this works as 
expected from the API.
