Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)
by Jakub Kicinski [off-list ref]:

IOAM uses a dummy dst_entry(null_dst) to mark that the destination should
not be changed after the transformation. This dst is stored in the IOAM lwt
state and may be passed to dst_cache_set_ip6().

However, the IPv6 dst cache path eventually calls rt6_get_cookie(), which
treats the dst_entry as part of a struct rt6_info. Since the null_dst was
embedded directly as a struct dst_entry in struct ioam6_lwt, this resulted
in an invalid cast and rt6_get_cookie() reading fields from the wrong
object.
