One example of when an ICMPv6 packet is required to be looped back is when a host acts as both a Multicast Listener and a Multicast Router. A Multicast Router will listen on address ff02::16 for MLDv2 messages. Currently, MLDv2 messages originating from a Multicast Listener running on the same host as the Multicast Router are not being delivered to the Multicast Router. This is due to dst.input being assigned the default value of dst_discard. This results in the packet being looped back but discarded before being delivered to the Multicast Router. This patch sets dst.input to ip6_input to ensure a looped back packet is delivered to the Multicast Router. Signed-off-by: Brendan McGrath <redmcg@redmandi.dyndns.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
