The IPv6 header is not zeroed out in alloc_skb so we must initialize it properly unless we want to see IPv6 packets with random TOS fields floating around. The current implementation resets the flow label but this could be changed if deemed necessary. We stumbled upon this issue when trying to apply a mangle rule to the RST packet generated by the REJECT target module.
