David S. Miller 21e27f2d86 Merge branch 'IP-cleanup-LSRR-option-processing'
Paolo Abeni says:

====================
IP: cleanup LSRR option processing

The __ip_options_echo() function expect a valid dst entry in skb->dst;
as result we sometimes need to preserve the dst entry for the whole IP
RX path.

The current usage of skb->dst looks more a relic from ancient past that
a real functional constraint. This patchset tries to remove such usage,
and than drops some hacks currently in place in the IP code to keep
skb->dst around.

__ip_options_echo() uses of skb->dst for two different purposes: retrieving
the netns assicated with the skb, and modify the ingress packet LSRR address
list.

The first patch removes the code modifying the ingress packet, and the second
one provides an explicit netns argument to __ip_options_echo(). The following
patches cleanup the current code keeping arund skb->dst for __ip_options_echo's
sake.

Updating the __ip_options_echo() function has been previously discussed here:

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
