ipv6: fix EFAULT on sendto with icmpv6 and hdrincl
[ Upstream commit b9aa52c4cb457e7416cc0c95f475e72ef4a61336 ]
The following code returns EFAULT (Bad address):
s = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMPV6);
setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_HDRINCL, 1);
sendto(ipv6_icmp6_packet, addr); /* returns -1, errno = EFAULT */
The IPv4 equivalent code works. A workaround is to use IPPROTO_RAW
instead of IPPROTO_ICMPV6.
The failure happens because 2 bytes are eaten from the msghdr by
rawv6_probe_proto_opt() starting from commit 19e3c66b52ca ("ipv6
equivalent of "ipv4: Avoid reading user iov twice after
raw_probe_proto_opt""), but at that time it was not a problem because
IPV6_HDRINCL was not yet introduced.
Only eat these 2 bytes if hdrincl == 0.
