== Justification ==
Impact:
The upstream stable v6.6.122, v6.12.67, v6.12.68 update included a
change to __ip6_tnl_rcv() which does not work for kernels <v6.13
(this might be important if the following is ever picked):
f842901be344 "ip6_tunnel: use skb_vlan_inet_prepare() in __ip6_tnl_rcv()"
Above patch replaces pskb_inet_may_pull() with skb_vlan_inet_prepare().
The problem is that around v6.13 there was
"net: tunnel: make skb_vlan_inet_prepare() return drop reasons"
which changes return values of skb_vlan_inet_prepare(). Before a non
zero return code meant success while after it is the opposite.
Fix:
Instead of pulling another dependency the proposed fix changes usage to
other callers of skb_vlan_inet_prepare() in v6.8
(bareudp.c/geneve.c/vxlan_core.c).
Testcase:
Running the ubuntu_kselftests_net:net:l2_tos_ttl_inherit.sh fail (timeout)
without the fix. After applying the test passes again.
