Subject[PATCH 3.12 23/78] udp6: fix UDP/IPv6 encap resubmit path
Date
From: Bill Sommerfeld <wsommerfeld@google.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 59dca1d8a6725a121dae6c452de0b2611d5865dc ]

IPv4 interprets a negative return value from a protocol handler as a
request to redispatch to a new protocol. In contrast, IPv6 interprets a
negative value as an error, and interprets a positive value as a request
for redispatch.

UDP for IPv6 was unaware of this difference. Change __udp6_lib_rcv() to
return a positive value for redispatch. Note that the socket's
encap_rcv hook still needs to return a negative value to request
dispatch, and in the case of IPv6 packets, adjust IP6CB(skb)->nhoff to
identify the byte containing the next protocol.
