This patch anticipates the support for the IOAM insertion inside in-transit packets, by making a difference between input and output in order to determine the right value for its hop-limit (inherited from the IPv6 hop-limit). Input case: happens before ip6_forward, the IPv6 hop-limit is not decremented yet -> decrement the IOAM hop-limit to reflect the new hop inside the trace. Output case: happens after ip6_forward, the IPv6 hop-limit has already been decremented -> keep the same value for the IOAM hop-limit.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
