Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v4 1/2] fix return of iptunnel_xmit

Andreas, I think we need to use the net_xmit defines so the errors are
masked properly, how about:

-       if (unlikely(net_xmit_eval(err)))
-               pkt_len = 0;
-       return pkt_len;
+       if (likely(net_xmit_eval(err) == 0))
+               return pkt_len;
+       else
+               return net_xmit_errno(err);
+
+       return 0;
