Guillaume Nault 7ad136fd28 ipip: allow redirecting ipip and mplsip packets to eth devices
Even though ipip transports IPv4 or MPLS packets, it needs to reset the
mac_header pointer, so that other parts of the stack don't mistakenly
access the outer header after the packet has been decapsulated.

This allows to push an Ethernet header to ipip or mplsip packets and
redirect them to an Ethernet device:

  $ tc filter add dev ipip0 ingress matchall         \
      action vlan push_eth dst_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:01 \
                           src_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:00 \
      action mirred egress redirect dev eth0

Without this patch, push_eth refuses to add an ethernet header because
the skb appears to already have a MAC header.

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.
