Sorry for bothering, just repost it.

Thanks very much for your comment!

Yes, the packet is correct. Another thing i have not pointed directly is
that the pkt has SKB_GSO_DODGY. net_failover do not advertises GSO_ROBUST
but virtio_net do.

values print in skb_mac_gso_segment() before callbacks.gso_segment:
ipip:               vlan_depth=0 mac_len=0 skb->network_header=206
net_failover:  vlan_depth=14 mac_len=14 skb->network_header=186
virtio_net:      vlan_depth=34 mac_len=34 skb->network_header=206

agree to add sit/ip4ip6/ip6ip6, and patch can be simplified as:
