[PATCH net-next 06/11] ip6_gre: add drop reasons to the RX path
From: Anton Danilov
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 20:52:34 EST
Mirror the previous patch on the IPv6 side: report
SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND when no tunnel matches the packet,
and tell that apart from a header that cannot be pulled
(SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC) or a metadata allocation failure
(SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM), which so far all ended up in the same plain
kfree_skb() in gre_rcv().
ip6gre_rcv() and ip6erspan_rcv() get the same output parameter as their
IPv4 counterparts.
