[IPV6]: Fix IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS getsockopt().
> Relevant standard (RFC 3493) notes: > > The IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS option may be used with getsockopt() to > determine the hop limit value that the system will use for subsequent > unicast packets sent via that socket. > > I don't reckon -1 could be the hop limit value. -1 means un-initialized. > IMHO, the value from > case 1 (if socket is connected to some destination), otherwise case 2 > (if bound to a scope interface) or ultimately the default hop limit > ought to be returned instead, as it will be most often correct, while > the current behavior is always wrong, unless setsockopt() has been used > first. I don't if some people may think doing a route lookup in > getsockopt might be overly expensive, but at least the two other cases > should be ok, particularly the last one. The following patch seems to work for me, but this code has behaved this way for a while, so don't know if it will break any existing apps.
