ipv6_defrag pulls network headers before fragment header. In case of an error, the netfilter layer is currently dropping these packets. This results in failure of some IPv6 standards tests which passed on older kernels due to the netfilter framework using cloning. The test case run here is a check for ICMPv6 error message replies when some invalid IPv6 fragments are sent. This specific test case is listed in https://www.ipv6ready.org/docs/Core_Conformance_Latest.pdf in the Extension Header Processing Order section. A packet with unrecognized option Type 11 is sent and the test expects an ICMP error in line with RFC2460 section 4.2 - 11 - discard the packet and, only if the packet's Destination Address was not a multicast address, send an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 2, message to the packet's Source Address, pointing to the unrecognized Option Type. Since netfilter layer now drops all invalid IPv6 frag packets, we no longer see the ICMP error message and fail the test case. To fix this, clone the packet and allow it to be processed by the defrag queue. In case defrag holds onto the packet, drop the original skb. If defrag is unable to process it, free this cloned skb and pass on the original skb.
