From 1a98d05f59704d60be85b03f727964e15c77224c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:30:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6 RAW: Disallow IPPROTO_IPV6-level IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option on ICMPv6 sockets. RFC3542 tells that IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option in the IPPROTO_IPV6 level is not allowed on ICMPv6 sockets. IPPROTO_RAW level IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option (a Linux extension) is still allowed.
