By default, VXLAN encapsulation over IPv6 sets the flow label to 0, with an option for a fixed value. This commits add the ability to inherit the flow label from the inner packet, like for other tunnel implementations. This enables devices using only L3 headers for ECMP to correctly balance VXLAN-encapsulated IPv6 packets.
## Form letter - net-next-closed The merge window for v6.7 has begun and we have already posted our pull request. Therefore net-next is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only. Please repost when net-next reopens after Nov 12th. RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time. See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle -- pw-bot: defer
