Description of problem:
ping can lockup itself in the endless loop regardless that before that it
successfully process other echo requests and count option '-c' was specified.
.

How reproducible:
on EL7.3 (Linux 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64）
This script can reproduce the issue:
.
  ip1="fd00:a::1"
  ip2="fd00:a::2"
  m="64"
.
  ip netns add ns1
  ip link add name veth1 type veth peer name veth2
  ip link set dev veth1 netns ns1
  ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev veth1 up
  ip link set dev veth2 up
  ip netns exec ns1 ip address add $ip1/$m dev veth1
  ip add add $ip2/$m dev veth2
.
  ping6 -I veth2 -s 10 -i 0 $ip1 -c 30
.
if not using netns in the above script, we can still get the errors but ping
finishes in that case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
IPUTILS-20160308-8.EL7.X86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
None

Actual results:
Ping6 hang

Expected results:
Ping6 is OK.

Analysis:

The iputils exception handing function has not set
a default time value for the struct 'itimerval it'.
in this case the tv_sec is set as 0,the setitimer
will take no effect for that value. And the system
will not send a signal to itself to terminate the
application.
.
int __schedule_exit(int next)
{
static unsigned long waittime;
struct itimerval it;
.
if (waittime)
return next;
.
if (nreceived) {
waittime = 2 * tmax;
if (waittime < 1000*interval)
waittime = 1000*interval;
} else
waittime = lingertime*1000;
.
if (next < 0 || next < waittime/1000)
next = waittime/1000;
.
it.it_interval.tv_sec = 0;
it.it_interval.tv_usec = 0;
it.it_value.tv_sec = waittime/1000000;
it.it_value.tv_usec = waittime%1000000;
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &it, NULL);
return next;
}
To fix it, add below code.
