While computing the response option set for LSRR, ip_options_echo() also changes the ingress packet LSRR addresses list, setting the last one to the dst specific address for the ingress packet - via memset(start[ ... The only visible effect of such change - beyond possibly damaging shared/cloned skbs - is modifying the data carried by ICMP replies changing the header information for reported the ingress packet, which violates RFC1122 3.2.2.6. All the others call sites just ignore the ingress packet IP options after calling ip_options_echo() Note that the last element in the LSRR option address list for the reply packet will be properly set later in the ip output path via ip_options_build(). This buggy memset() predates git history and apparently was present into the initial ip_options_echo() implementation in linux 1.3.30 but still looks wrong. The removal of the fib_compute_spec_dst() call will help completely dropping the skb->dst usage by __ip_options_echo() with a later patch.

README
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.
