Commita61bbcf28a("[NET]: Store skb->timestamp as offset to a base timestamp") introduces a neighbour control buffer and zeroes it out in ndisc_rcv(), as ndisc_recv_ns() uses it. Commitf2776ff047("[IPV6]: Fix address/interface handling in UDP and DCCP, according to the scoping architecture.") introduces the usage of the IPv6 control buffer in protocol error handlers (e.g. inet6_iif() in present-day __udp6_lib_err()). Now, with commitb94f1c0904("ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of rt6_redirect()."), we call protocol error handlers from ndisc_redirect_rcv(), after the control buffer is already stolen and some parts are already zeroed out. This implies that inet6_iif() on this path will always return zero. This gives unexpected results on UDP socket lookup in __udp6_lib_err(), as we might actually need to match sockets for a given interface. Instead of always claiming the control buffer in ndisc_rcv(), do that only when needed. Fixes:b94f1c0904("ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of rt6_redirect().")

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.
