Well, if this is only in combination with zero length, it is not a disaster.May be. It seems there were no such callers but they appeared. I'm not sure a comment can avoid further problems. As for the fix, we don't see often lengths of 0 and 1 for unaligned addrs, it is in the slow path in csum_partial. IMHO, it will not hurt if we apply the fix instead of auditing everything.
I applied the patch and now it's working fine, both ping6 and traceroute6 seems to be working fine. I'll leave it to you guys to debate this :) -- /Martin Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
