> v3: fix CONFIG_IPV6=m case

You're talking about a change that isn't even present in this patch.

That's why people do "[PATCH 0/N]" cover postings with their
patch series, to collect information like this in the most
useful and relevent place.

Then I can check your patch set into a branch, and then do
a merge into my master branch and make the merge commit have
your cover letter as the commit message.

I'm not applying this series, submit it properly.

Thanks.

Alright, will do. Sorry for my laziness.
