Last one - for this week. Patches 1, 2 and 7 are more cleanup patches - removing dead code, moving code from a header to near its single caller, and updating function name.
Patches 3-5 do some refactoring leading up to patch 6 which fixes a NULL dereference. I have only managed to trigger a panic once, so I can not definitively confirm it addresses the problem but it seems pretty clear that it is a race on removing a 'from' reference on an rt6_info and another path using that 'from' value to do cookie checking.
