[ Upstream commit 173656accaf583698bac3f9e269884ba60d51ef4 ]
If we disabled IPv6 from the kernel command line (ipv6.disable=1), we should
not call ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach(). This:
ip link add sit1 type sit local 192.0.2.1 remote 192.0.2.2 ttl 1
ip link set sit1 up
ip addr add 198.51.100.1/24 dev sit1
ping 198.51.100.2
if IPv6 is disabled at boot time, will crash the kernel.
v2: there's no need to use in6_dev_get(), use __in6_dev_get() instead,
as we only need to check that idev exists and we are under
rcu_read_lock() (from netif_receive_skb_internal()).

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.
