Hi Pravin

I think itâs not necessary, for example as gre tunnel, if ipgre_rcv fails, it would trigger send an icmp unreachable
message:

	if (ipgre_rcv(skb, &tpi, hdr_len) == PACKET_RCVD)
		return 0;

	icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_PORT_UNREACH, 0);

Since the tunnel device didnât touch the packets, so increase drop statistics is not necessary.

Thanks
