Anubhav Singh 91e2fe103b selftests/net: use destination options instead of hop-by-hop 
[ Upstream commit f8e8486702 ]

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.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
