Subject: PROBLEM: GRE forwarding not working with 3.10.x, WCCPv2 and Cisco 7200 Router showing IP0 bad-hlen 4 in tcpdump

Hi,

I have a setup with the current kernel (3.10.16) and can't get WCCPv2 to work using GRE since kernel 3.10.x. With 3.9.x everything was working fine.

My setup is simple with three boxes included:

Client (10.111.111.222/24) -- (10.111.111.1/24) Cisco 7200 (192.168.180.113/24) -- Internet Gateway
                                            (192.168.234.1/30)
                                                    |
                                                WCCPv2
                                                    |
                                            (192.168.234.2/30)
                                   Caching Box with Squid 2.7STABLE9 WCCPv2


On the caching box, I have the interfaces:
6: eth3 inet 192.168.234.2/30 scope global eth3\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
22: wccp104102 inet 192.168.234.2/32 scope global wccp104102\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 

The WCCP handshake is established and I can see messages on the Cisco Router:
*Oct 14 10:44:09.487: %WCCP-5-SERVICEFOUND: Service 80 acquired on WCCP client 192.168.234.2
*Oct 14 10:44:09.495: %WCCP-5-SERVICEFOUND: Service 90 acquired on WCCP client 192.168.234.2

When the client now starts a request, it gets connection timeouts:
>wget google.com
--2013-10-14 13:53:30--  http://google.com/
Resolving google.com (google.com)... 173.194.70.113, 173.194.70.100, 173.194.70.138, ...

Connecting to google.com (google.com)|173.194.70.100|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
...

A tcpdump on the Caching Box reveals the following:

13:53:35.686377 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:53:36.678849 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:53:38.682782 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:53:42.690670 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:53:50.714444 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:54:06.745979 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:54:38.813539 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:54:39.808525 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:54:41.812964 IP0 bad-hlen 4
13:54:45.816337 IP0 bad-hlen 4 
So I get correct GRE packets on the eth3 interface, but only bad-hlen messages from the GRE interface.

Has anybody an idea of what's going wrong here? If you need any further information or some pcap files, I will surely provide them.

Thanks a lot for your attention!

Best regards,
Peter
