[PATCH net-next 02/11] ip6_tunnel: add drop reasons to the generic RX path
From: Anton Danilov
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 21:08:42 EST
__ip6_tnl_rcv() mirrors its IPv4 counterpart: five distinct failures
share a single plain kfree_skb(). Reuse the drop reasons introduced
for ip_tunnel_rcv() and the ones the length helpers already return.
Note that skb_vlan_inet_prepare() returns an enum skb_drop_reason that
was simply discarded, and that pskb_may_pull_reason() has been
available all along.
__ip6_tnl_rcv() is reached through ip6_tnl_rcv() from both ip6_tunnel
(ip4ip6, ip6ip6) and ip6_gre (ip6gre, ip6gretap, erspan). As on the
IPv4 side, only ip6_gre sets the checksum and sequence number bits, so
the option mismatch and the old sequence reasons are reachable through
it alone.
