If you have not yet done so, I would try to find a solution over the weekend.
I have not yet done so, please go ahead.
Ok, this patch should do the trick. In xfrm6 error path we now generate
a plain icmpv6 packet back to us in this specific case vi0oss reported. I
wonder if we should suppress these.

Btw. is the memset(IPCB, 0) actually needed in the ipv4 output path?

[PATCH RFC] net: orphan socket when skb traverses tunnel interface

When a local generated packet traverses a tunnel the socket has to be
orphaned from the skb. Otherwise lower layer, like xfrm, try to report
errors directly to this socket. If, because of a transitioning tunnel,
the address family changes we deliver an invalid error or panic in the
error reporting functions.

Also add a call to secpath_reset() in the ipv6 tunnel xmit path. It
seems like it was just forgotten.
