Subject: ipv6: Remove options header when setsockopt's optlen is 0
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc8~24^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aea7427f70cce5fa8f99ce447b213e9e3b49f24c;p=linux-2.6

ipv6: Remove options header when setsockopt's optlen is 0

Remove the sticky Hop-by-Hop options header by calling setsockopt()
for IPV6_HOPOPTS with a zero option length, per RFC3542.

Routing header and Destination options header does the same as
Hop-by-Hop options header.
