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 commit19e3c66b52("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
