icmp: ICMPV6: Examine invoking packet for Segment Route Headers.
RFC8754 says: ICMP error packets generated within the SR domain are sent to source nodes within the SR domain. The invoking packet in the ICMP error message may contain an SRH. Since the destination address of a packet with an SRH changes as each segment is processed, it may not be the destination used by the socket or application that generated the invoking packet. For the source of an invoking packet to process the ICMP error message, the ultimate destination address of the IPv6 header may be required. The following logic is used to determine the destination address for use by protocol-error handlers. * Walk all extension headers of the invoking IPv6 packet to the routing extension header preceding the upper-layer header. - If routing header is type 4 Segment Routing Header (SRH) o The SID at Segment List[0] may be used as the destination address of the invoking packet. Mangle the skb so the network header points to the invoking packet inside the ICMP packet. The seg6 helpers can then be used on the skb to find any segment routing headers. If found, mark this fact in the IPv6 control block of the skb, and store the offset into the packet of the SRH. Then restore the skb back to its old state.
