Subject: [PATCH iproute2] vxlan: add support for flowlab inherit
By default, VXLAN encapsulation over IPv6 sets the flow label to 0, with
an option for a fixed value. This commits add the ability to inherit the
flow label from the inner packet, like for other tunnel implementations.
This enables devices using only L3 headers for ECMP to correctly balance
VXLAN-encapsulated IPv6 packets.
In relation to the commit "c6e9dba3be5e" ('vxlan: add support for
flowlabel inherit)
