With commit 997dd9647164 ("net: IP6 defrag: use rbtrees in
nf_conntrack_reasm.c"), nf_ct_frag6_reasm() is now called from
nf_ct_frag6_queue(). With this change, nf_ct_frag6_queue() can fail
after the skb has been added to the fragment queue and
nf_ct_frag6_gather() was adapted to handle this case.
But nf_ct_frag6_queue() can still fail before the fragment has been
queued. nf_ct_frag6_gather() can't handle this case anymore, because it
has no way to know if nf_ct_frag6_queue() queued the fragment before
failing. If it didn't, the skb is lost as the error code is overwritten
with -EINPROGRESS.
Fix this by setting -EINPROGRESS directly in nf_ct_frag6_queue(), so
that nf_ct_frag6_gather() can propagate the error as is.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
