Subject: [PATCH net-next] ip6_tunnel: Fix missing tunnel encapsulation limit option

From: Craig Gallek <kraig@...gle.com>

The IPv6 tunneling code tries to insert IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT and
IPV6_TLV_PADN options when an encapsulation limit is defined (the
default is a limit of 4).  An MTU adjustment is done to account for
these options as well.  However, the options are never present in the
generated packets.

ipv6_push_nfrag_opts requires that IPV6_RTHDR be present in order to
include any IPV6_DSTOPTS options.  The v6 tunnel code does not
use routing options, so the encap limit options are not included.

A brief reading of RFC 3542 section 9.2 (specifically the 4th paragraph)
makes me believe that this requirement in the kernel is incorrect.

Fixes: 333fad5364d6: ("[IPV6]: Support several new sockopt / ancillary data in Advanced API (RFC3542)")
