Oliver Herms 22ee23fe1c IPv6: Set SIT tunnel hard_header_len to zero
[ Upstream commit 8ef9ba4d666614497a057d09b0a6eafc1e34eadf ]

Due to the legacy usage of hard_header_len for SIT tunnels while
already using infrastructure from net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c the
calculation of the path MTU in tnl_update_pmtu is incorrect.
This leads to unnecessary creation of MTU exceptions for any
flow going over a SIT tunnel.

As SIT tunnels do not have a header themsevles other than their
transport (L3, L2) headers we're leaving hard_header_len set to zero
as tnl_update_pmtu is already taking care of the transport headers
sizes.

This will also help avoiding unnecessary IPv6 GC runs and spinlock
contention seen when using SIT tunnels and for more than
net.ipv6.route.gc_thresh flows.

Fixes: c544193214 ("GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code.")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
