This makes it possible to retain the route preference when RAs are handled in
userspace.

Don't we want to do "goto errout;" in case pref is invalid ?

I'm not sure. If RFC 4191 suggests that the invalid value ought to be
ignored (treated as medium). It could be done in the userspace or the
userspace could just relay whatever it got in the NDP message to the
kernel.

What is your opinion on this?

Thank you,
Lubo

In that case I would suggest in case of invalid value to set pref to
ICMPV6_ROUTER_PREF_MEDIUM.
