Hello Eric,

Thanks for the quick fix.

The below grep shows 3 uses of this_cpu_ptr, whereas the patch only
replaces 2 instances. Just want to check if that is ok.

grep --ignore-case --exclude-dir=".git" --recursive this_cpu_ptr ip_tunnel.c
        __tunnel_dst_set(this_cpu_ptr(t->dst_cache), dst, saddr);
        idst = this_cpu_ptr(t->dst_cache);
        tstats = this_cpu_ptr(tunnel->dev->tstats);

Thanks
Joe
