ipv6: Initial skb->dev and skb->protocol in ip6_output

Chenbo Feng · davem330 · commit 97a7a37a7b7b · 2017-06-09T15:07:56.000-04:00
Move the initialization of skb-&gt;dev and skb-&gt;protocol from
ip6_finish_output2 to ip6_output. This can make the skb-&gt;dev and
skb-&gt;protocol information avalaible to the CGROUP eBPF filter.
