4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3de33e1ba0506723ab25734e098cf280ecc34756 ] A packet length of exactly IPV6_MAXPLEN is allowed, we should refuse parsing options only if the size is 64KiB or more. While at it, remove one extra variable and one assignment which were also introduced by the commit that introduced the size check. Checking the sum 'offset + len' and only later adding 'len' to 'offset' doesn't provide any advantage over directly summing to 'offset' and checking it.
