I guess the point is we run nf_flow_skb_encap_protocol() not only for IPIP
traffic but even for plain IP traffic (e.g. IP+UDP) in nf_flow_offload_lookup().
In particular, we run the following check in nf_flow_tuple_ip() for IP+UDP
traffic:

pskb_may_pull(, 28)

That is less restrictive with respect to

pskb_may_pull(, 40)

I guess it is better to keep the original check in
nf_flow_skb_encap_protocol(). What do you think?

Lorenzo
