ipvs: Fix faulty IPv6 extension header handling in IPVS
IPv6 packets can contain extension headers, thus its wrong to assume that the transport/upper-layer header, starts right after (struct ipv6hdr) the IPv6 header. IPVS uses this false assumption, and will write SNAT & DNAT modifications at a fixed pos which will corrupt the message. To fix this, proper header position must be found before modifying packets. Introducing ip_vs_fill_iph_skb(), which uses ipv6_find_hdr() to skip the exthdrs. It finds (1) the transport header offset, (2) the protocol, and (3) detects if the packet is a fragment. Note, that fragments in IPv6 is represented via an exthdr. Thus, this is detected while skipping through the exthdrs. This patch depends on commit 84018f55: "netfilter: ip6_tables: add flags parameter to ipv6_find_hdr()" This also adds a dependency to ip6_tables. Originally based on patch from: Hans Schillstrom kABI notes: Changing struct ip_vs_iphdr is a potential minor kABI breaker, because external modules can be compiled with another version of this struct. This should not matter, as they would most-likely be using a compiled-in version of ip_vs_fill_iphdr(). When recompiled, they will notice ip_vs_fill_iphdr() no longer exists, and they have to used ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() instead.
