    tcp: Do not call IPv4 specific func in tcp_check_req · 05eaade2
    Gilad Ben-Yossef authored
    Calling IPv4 specific inet_csk_route_req in tcp_check_req
    is a bad idea and crashes machine on IPv6 connections, as reported
    by Valdis Kletnieks
    
    Also, all we are really interested in is the timestamp
    option in the header, so calling tcp_parse_options()
    with the "estab" set to false flag is an overkill as
    it tries to parse half a dozen other TCP options.
    
    We know whether timestamp should be enabled or not
    using data from request_sock.
