[PATCH net-next v7 03/10] ipv6: Add case for IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT in EH TLV switch

From: Tom Herbert <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-04 22:53:11
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT is a recognized Destination option that is
processed in ip6_tunnel.c. Add a case for it in the switch in
ip6_parse_tlv so that it is recognized as a known option.

Also remove the unlikely around the check for max_count < 0 since the
default limits for HBH and Destination options can be less than zero.
