4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Abeni <pab...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit b5c2d49544e5930c96e2632a7eece3f4325a1888 ]
If an ip6 tunnel is configured to inherit the traffic class from
the inner header, the dst_cache must be disabled or it will foul
the policy routing.
The issue is apprently there since at leat Linux-2.6.12-rc2.
