I make the patch set on net tree, not on net-next. Maybe those
things should be done in two patch sets.

Sorry, i didn't notice that.

According to the RFC requirements, it suggests that we can't update
route for redirect in ndisc layer before calling into sctp_err_lookup(),
because we must verify the ICMP Message. Now maybe we update route for
redirect in ndisc layer is wrong.

Do you have any idea?
