From ae148b085876fa771d9ef2c05f85d4b4bf09ce0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Cooper Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:11:09 +0800 Subject: ip6_tunnel: Update skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 in ip6_tnl_xmit() This patch updates skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 in ip6_tnl_xmit() when an IPv6 header is installed to a socket buffer. This is not a cosmetic change. Without updating this value, GSO packets transmitted through an ipip6 tunnel have the protocol of ETH_P_IP and skb_mac_gso_segment() will attempt to call gso_segment() for IPv4, which results in the packets being dropped.
