From: Paul Hüber <phueber@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 51fb60eb162ab84c5edf2ae9c63cf0b878e5547e ] l2tp_ip_backlog_recv may not return -1 if the packet gets dropped. The return value is passed up to ip_local_deliver_finish, which treats negative values as an IP protocol number for resubmission. Signed-off-by: Paul Hüber <phueber@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
