For example, I test this case with script samples/bpf/test_tunnel_bpf.sh, 
and modify samples/bpf/tcbpf2_kern.c with following patch:

diff --git a/samples/bpf/tcbpf2_kern.c b/samples/bpf/tcbpf2_kern.c
index 370b749..16b09ed 100644

        key.tunnel_tos = 0;

        __builtin_memset(&gopt, 0x0, sizeof(gopt));
        gopt.opt_class = 0x102; /* Open Virtual Networking (OVN) */

The user didnât set key.tunnel_ttl and then key.tunnel_ttl is 0, so tcpdump 
output on veth1 would have ttl value of 0 in ip header:

PING 10.1.1.100 (10.1.1.100) 56(84) bytes of data.

After my patch, tcpdump output on veth1 would have ttl value of 64 in 
ip header:
