I simply moved the patch against the latest net-next and resolved some small
conflict so yes it's pretty much the same. Also I don't see the subsequent
discussion on skb->encapsulation affects the validity of this patch so
i'm resubmitting
it. Also the patch has been confirmed to address the problem Wolfgang reported
last week. Feel free to test against the configuration (VXLAN?) you
had some question about earlier.

Thanks,

Jerry
