From: Xin Long lucien.xin@gmail.com
[ Upstream commit f3594f0a7ea36661d7fd942facd7f31a64245f1a ]
t->err_count is used to count the link failure on tunnel and an err will be reported to user socket in tx path if t->err_count is not 0. udp socket could even return EHOSTUNREACH to users.
Since commit fd58156e456d ("IPIP: Use ip-tunneling code.") removed the 'switch check' for icmp type in ipip_err(), err_count would be increased by the icmp packet with ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME code. an link failure would be reported out due to this.
In Jianlin's case, when receiving ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME a icmp packet, udp netperf failed with the err: send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113)
We expect this error reported from tunnel to socket when receiving some certain type icmp, but not ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME, ICMP_SR_FAILED or ICMP_PARAMETERPROB ones.
This patch is to bring 'switch check' for icmp type back to ipip_err so that it only reports link failure for the right type icmp, just as in ipgre_err() and ipip6_err().
