Thanks, I will send a v2 with the fixes.

It looks like this assignment ("ip6_dst_idev(skb_dst(skb))->dev->ifindex")
is relevant only in case of sending traffic on loopback.
It does not seem relevant in GRO stack.
That is why I chose to use only the `skb->dev->ifindex` part.
Do you think that's correct?
