答复: [scr265482] ip_tunnel.c

Yeah，I means that recreate the tunnel again, 
But I don’t think the patch can fix the bug. It only can make the first packet received successed. And the follow packet will droped also.
In function __gre_xmit  line 366 
  tunnel->o_seqno++;

If you restart from UINT_MAX, the 'o_seqno' of second packet will return to 0 again. 

BTW:
   Can you read Chinese? :)

Hi:
        I found that the GRE tunnel in same case can cause integer 
overflow in ip_tunnel.c:397

Cause of the problem:
        When tpi->seq less than tunnel->i_seqno, the packet will be droped.

How to recurrence problem
        1. Create an tunnel use kernel GRE module.
    2. Use the tunnel to send packets for awile.
    3.Reboot one site of the tunnel.
    4. Communication interrupted

What do you mean by "reboot one site of the tunnel"?

If you mean something like delete and create it again, it has nothing related to integer overflow, the tunnel->o_seqno will restart from 0 and the tunnel->i_seqno will remain as it is since we can't detect the interruption of the tunnel traffic.
If so, the following patch could help?
