Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Remove hoplimit initialization to -1
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:56:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DAFF122.7010608@secunet.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 462 bytes --]
The changes introduced with git-commit a02e4b7d missed to remove the
hoplimit initialization. As a result, ipv6_get_mtu interprets the return
value of dst_metric_raw (-1) as 255 and answers ping6 with this hoplimit.
This patche removes the line such that ping6 is answered with the
hoplimit value configured via sysctl.
