Ugh. It doesn't seem to be a merge error, because that double iph
assignment came from the original patch that introduced this function:
commit ddc8b6027ad0 ("netfilter: introduce nft_set_pktinfo_{ipv4,
ipv6}_validate()").
So I wouldn't call it a merge error - it just looks like a bug in the
network layer. So I'm not going to apply your patch even though it
looks plausible to me, simply because it's outside my area of
expertise.
David? Pablo?
