[ Upstream commit92c6058024] When a packet contains an IPv6 header with next header which is an extension header and not a protocol one, the kernel function skb_transport_header called with such sk_buff will return a pointer to the extension header and not to the TCP one. The above explained call caused a problem with packet processing for skb with encapsulation for tunnel with I40E_TX_CTX_EXT_IP_IPV6. The extension header was not skipped at all. The ipv6_skip_exthdr function does check if next header of the IPV6 header is an extension header and doesn't modify the l4_proto pointer if it points to a protocol header value so its safe to omit the comparison of exthdr and l4.hdr pointers. The ipv6_skip_exthdr can return value -1. This means that the skipping process failed and there is something wrong with the packet so it will be dropped.

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.
