With ip6gre we have a tunnel header which also makes the tunnel MTU smaller. We need to reserve room for it. Previously we were using up space reserved for the Tunnel Encapsulation Limit option header (RFC 2473). Also, after commitb05229f442("gre6: Cleanup GREv6 transmit path, call common GRE functions") our contract with the caller has changed. Now we check if the packet length exceeds the tunnel MTU after the tunnel header has been pushed, unlike before. This is reflected in the check where we look at the packet length minus the size of the tunnel header, which is already accounted for in tunnel MTU.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
