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()")
