sit: allow redirecting ip6ip, ipip and mplsip packets to eth devices
Even though sit transports L3 data (IPv6, 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. There are two rx handlers to modify: ipip6_rcv() for the ip6ip mode and sit_tunnel_rcv() which is used to re-implement the ipip and mplsip modes of ipip.ko. This allows to push an Ethernet header to sit packets and redirect them to an Ethernet device: $ tc filter add dev sit0 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.
