[PATCH net-next 1/7] ipv6: add daddr/final storage in struct ipv6_pinfo

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
Date: 2026-02-06 17:34:44
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

After commit b409a7f7176b ("ipv6: colocate inet6_cork in
inet_cork_full") we have room in ipv6_pinfo to hold daddr/final
in case they need to be populated in fl6_update_dst() calls.

This will allow stack canary removal in IPv6 tx fast paths.
