From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@xxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit ebe084aafb7e93adf210e80043c9f69adf56820d ] ipip6_tunnel_init() sets the dev->iflink via a call to ipip6_tunnel_bind_dev(). After that, register_netdevice() sets dev->iflink = -1. So we loose the iflink configuration for ipv6 tunnels. Fix this by using ipip6_tunnel_init() as the ndo_init function. Then ipip6_tunnel_init() is called after dev->iflink is set to -1 from register_netdevice(). Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
