This is a RT specific issue, and this fix is not needed in mainline.
When searching in-use sockets via netstat, RT uses a bitmap(ebitmask)
for fast search.
Non-RT doesn't use the bitmap.
Following patch is abstracted from RT patch(patch-2.6.21-rc5-rt12).

You can see that a flag bit is set properly into the bitmap in
__inet_hash(). This function is
called when IPv4 connection is established.
But when IPv6 connection is established, a flag bit is NOT set into the
bitmap, because
the code setting a flag bit is missing in __inet6_hash(). Therefore it
is impossible to find the
IPv6 sockets in established state, when searching in-use sockets via
netstat.
In the same way as __inet_hash(), setting a flag bit is needed in
__inet6_hash().
