[PATCH net-next] net: flow_dissector: do not set invalid PPP protocol

From: Boris Sukholitko <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-03 07:14:40

The following flower filter fails to match non-PPP_IP{V6} packets
wrapped in PPP_SES protocol:

tc filter add dev eth0 ingress protocol ppp_ses flower \
        action simple sdata hi64

The reason is that proto local variable is being set even when
FLOW_DISSECT_RET_OUT_BAD status is returned.

The fix is to avoid setting proto variable if the PPP protocol is unknown.

Hi,

Please disregard, I see that the patch has been applied already.

My feeble defense is that the previous patch has "Not Applicable" state
on patchwork for some reason:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210929113223.22108-1-boris.sukholitko@broadcom.com/

Thanks,
Boris.
