This length is also counted in dev->hard_header_len. > Perhaps, it's more clean to modify the hlen to count only the GRE header > without ipv6 header as the variable name suggest, but the simple way to fix > this without regression risk is simply modify the calculation of the limit > in ip6gre_tunnel_change_mtu function. > Verified in kernel version v3.11. > > Signed-off-by: Oussama Ghorbel <ou.ghorbel@...il.com> Please resubmit this with a proper Subject line. It should be "[PATCH] " then a legitimate subsystem prefix. In this case "ipv6: " would be appropriate. And then the "ipv6" in your existing Subject text is redundant so can be removed. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
