Hi Eric,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have analyzed the problem more deeply. The odd IPv6 packet and
big packet length value(IPv6 payload length more than 65535)
together cause the problem.

skb->network_header and skb->transport_header are all u16 type.
They would occuer overflow errors during ipv6_gro_receive() processing.
That cause the value error for __skb_push(skb, value).

So the problem is a bug in tun device.

I will combine my previous problem "net: tun: limit first seg size to avoid oversized linearization"
together to give the fix patch later.

Thanks.
