[ Upstream commit 855067defa36b1f9effad8c219d9a85b655cf500 ] This test verifies whether the encapsulated packets have the correct configured TTL. It does so by sending ICMP packets through the test topology and mirroring them to a gretap netdevice. On a busy host however, more than just the test ICMP packets may end up flowing through the topology, get mirrored, and counted. This leads to potential spurious failures as the test observes much more mirrored packets than the sent test packets, and assumes a bug. Fix this by tightening up the mirror action match. Change it from matchall to a flower classifier matching on ICMP packets specifically.

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.
