[PATCH 5.4 216/340] i40e: Fix flow for IPv6 next header (extension header)

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Slawomir Laba <slawomirx.laba@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 92c6058024e87087cf1b99b0389d67c0a886360e ]

When a packet contains an IPv6 header with next header which is
an extension header and not a protocol one, the kernel function
skb_transport_header called with such sk_buff will return a
pointer to the extension header and not to the TCP one.

The above explained call caused a problem with packet processing
for skb with encapsulation for tunnel with I40E_TX_CTX_EXT_IP_IPV6.
The extension header was not skipped at all.

The ipv6_skip_exthdr function does check if next header of the IPV6
header is an extension header and doesn't modify the l4_proto pointer
if it points to a protocol header value so its safe to omit the
comparison of exthdr and l4.hdr pointers. The ipv6_skip_exthdr can
return value -1. This means that the skipping process failed
and there is something wrong with the packet so it will be dropped.
