This is expected. However, the kernel itself sends some packets to the interface, most notably, IPv6 DAD, IPv6 multicast listener reports, etc. This is not wrong, as tunnel metadata can be specified in routing table (although technically, that has never worked for IPv6, but hopefully will be fixed eventually) and then the interface must correctly participate in IPv6 housekeeping. The problem is that any such attempt increases the tx_error counter. Just bringing up a geneve interface with IPv6 enabled is enough to see a number of tx_errors. That causes confusion among users, prompting them to find a network error where there is none. Change the counter used to tx_dropped. That better conveys the meaning (there's nothing wrong going on, just some packets are getting dropped) and hopefully will make admins panic less. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc Signed-off-by: David S.
