I see the ipgre_xmit function would pull the header our header_ops
creates, and then call __gre_xmit. __gre_xmit will call
gre_build_header to complete the GRE header. gre_build_header expects
to find the base GRE header after pushing tunnel->tun_hlen. However,
if tunnel->encap_hlen is not 0, it couldn't find the base GRE header
there. Is there a problem?

Where exactly should we put the tunnel->encap_hlen header? Before the
GRE header or after?
