In the latest version of the IPv6 Segment Routing IETF draft [1] the cleanup flag is removed and the flags field length is shrunk from 16 bits to 8 bits. As a consequence, the input of the HMAC computation is modified in a non-backward compatible way by covering the whole octet of flags instead of only the cleanup bit. As such, if an implementation compatible with the latest draft computes the HMAC of an SRH who has other flags set to 1, then the HMAC result would differ from the current implementation. This patch carries those modifications to prevent conflict with other implementations of IPv6 SR.

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.
