Unfortunately this patch has been white-space mangled: it looks like
tabs have been converted into spaces. So it doesn't apply.

Using a tool such as git send-email or b4 should help avoid this problem.

A few other things.

* The subject should start with [PATCH net-next], where net-next is the
  target tree (as opposed to net, which is for fixes)

  Subject:  [PATCH net-next v2] ...

* The subject should also include a prefix, in this case probably ipv6

  [PATCH net-next v2] ipv6: ...

* Please include a description of the patch, in the body before the patch
  itself.

* Please included a signed off by line.

Oveal, Please take a look at the netdev process document.
