If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet [ Upstream commit 284041ef21fdf2e0d216ab6b787bc9072b4eb58a ] commit 0178b695fd6b4 ("ipv6: Copy cork options in ip6_append_data") added some code duplication and bad error recovery, leading to potential crash in ip6_cork_release() as kfree() could be called with garbage. use kzalloc() to make sure this wont happen.
