From: William Dauchy <w.dauchy@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 25629fdaff2ff509dd0b3f5ff93d70a75e79e0a1 ] when creating a new ipip interface with no local/remote configuration, the lookup is done with TUNNEL_NO_KEY flag, making it impossible to match the new interface (only possible match being fallback or metada case interface); e.g: `ip link add tunl1 type ipip dev eth0` To fix this case, adding a flag check before the key comparison so we permit to match an interface with no local/remote config; it also avoids breaking possible userland tools relying on TUNNEL_NO_KEY flag and uninitialised key. context being on my side, I'm creating an extra ipip interface attached to the physical one, and moving it to a dedicated namespace.
