Hello
Sorry if its my mistake or i someone not understand :)

if (ipc->oif && info->ipi_ifindex != ipc->oif)
	// if match: info->ipi_ifindex != ipc->oif
	return ...
else
	// else match: info->ipi_ifindex == ipc->oif
	// but you do 
	ipc->oif = info->ipi_ifindex; 
	// why if you else match allready check for it?

Thanks
