Sorry for chiming in after a month. The code above got in
(48d2ab609b6bb), I'm currently looking at this and it looks very
suspicious to me.

After push_mpls, network_header points to the start of MPLS headers.
Which I understand was the point of this patch. However, push_mpls also
calls invalidate_flow_key. Meaning that, depending on actions, we may
end up calling key_extract soon after. And key_extract sets the network
header *after* the MPLS headers.

That means that on output, for otherwise identical packet,
network_header can point before or after MPLS headers based on what
actions happened to be executed (recirculation, mainly).

If I'm not misreading the code or missing something, this can't be
right.

mpls_gso_segment does not care, it resets the network_header anyway.
What about drivers? What is the correct behavior?
