Subject: [PATCH net] ip6_tunnel: do not use dst6_mtu() in ip4ip6_err() and ip6erspan_tunnel_xmit()
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 09:13:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609091337.2672441-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

This is a minor performance / conceptual fix.

1) ip6erspan_tunnel_xmit()

  ERSPAN tunnel can mirror both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, skb
  (the packet being mirrored) can be an IPv4 packet,
  and thus dst can be an IPv4 destination entry

  Use dst_mtu() which contains generic logic for both families.

2) ip4ip6_err()

  skb2 has been prepared as an IPv4 packet, and its destination
  is an IPv4 route.

  dst6_mtu() is optimized for IPv6 destinations and uses INDIRECT_CALL_1
  to call ip6_mtu() directly if the ops match.

  We should use dst4_mtu() instead.

Fixes: b40f0130a23b ("ipv6: use dst6_mtu() instead of dst_mtu()")
