[REGRESSION, BISECTED] IPv6 RA is broken with Linux 6.12.42+

[REGRESSION, BISECTED] IPv6 RA is broken with Linux 6.12.42+

[Rui Salvaterra]

Hi, everyone,


We noticed a regression in OpenWrt, with IPv6, which causes a router's
client devices to stop receiving the IPv6 default route. I have
bisected it down to (rather surprisingly)
fc1072d934f687e1221d685cf1a49a5068318f34 ("proc: use the same
treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al").
Reverting the aforementioned commit fixes the issue, of course.

Git bisect log follows:

I can confirm your patch fixes the IPv6 RA issue in OpenWrt. It's thus
