2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Linus Lüssing <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit a7bff75b087e7a355838a32efe61707cfa73c194 ] The ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is currently called with an uninitialized destination address. Although in tests it usually seemed to nevertheless always fetch the right source address, there seems to be a possible race condition. Therefore this commit changes this, first setting the destination address and only after that fetching the source address.
