[PATCH 1/2] ipv4: Use standard iovec primitive in raw_probe_proto_opt

From: Herbert Xu
Date: Fri Nov 07 2014 - 08:27:36 EST


The function raw_probe_proto_opt tries to extract the first two
bytes from the user input in order to seed the IPsec lookup for
ICMP packets. In doing so it's processing iovec by hand and
overcomplicating things.

This patch replaces the manual iovec processing with a call to
memcpy_fromiovecend.
