From: Craig Gallek <kr...@google.com>
The IPv6 tunneling code tries to insert IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT and
IPV6_TLV_PADN options when an encapsulation limit is defined (the
default is a limit of 4). An MTU adjustment is done to account for
these options as well. However, the options are never present in the
generated packets.
ipv6_push_nfrag_opts requires that IPV6_RTHDR be present in order to
include any IPV6_DSTOPTS options. The v6 tunnel code does not
use routing options, so the encap limit options are not included.
A brief reading of RFC 3542 section 9.2 (specifically the 4th paragraph)
makes me believe that this requirement in the kernel is incorrect.
Fixes: 333fad5364d6: ("[IPV6]: Support several new sockopt / ancillary data in
Advanced API (RFC3542)")
