[ Upstream commitf8e8486702] The GRO self-test, gro.c, currently constructs IPv6 packets containing a Hop-by-Hop Options header (IPPROTO_HOPOPTS) to ensure the GRO path correctly handles IPv6 extension headers. However, network elements may be configured to drop packets with the Hop-by-Hop Options header (HBH). This causes the self-test to fail in environments where such network elements are present. To improve the robustness and reliability of this test in diverse network environments, switch from using IPPROTO_HOPOPTS to IPPROTO_DSTOPTS (Destination Options). The Destination Options header is less likely to be dropped by intermediate routers and still serves the core purpose of the test: validating GRO's handling of an IPv6 extension header. This change ensures the test can execute successfully without being incorrectly failed by network policies outside the kernel's control.

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.
