3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eli Cooper <[email protected]> commit b4e479a96fc398ccf83bb1cffb4ffef8631beaf1 upstream. When xfrm is applied to TSO/GSO packets, it follows this path: xfrm_output() -> xfrm_output_gso() -> skb_gso_segment() where skb_gso_segment() relies on skb->protocol to function properly. This patch sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 before dst_output() is called, fixing a bug where GSO packets sent through an ipip6 tunnel are dropped when xfrm is involved.
