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.
```
$ ./ip/ip link add dummy1 type dummy
$ ./ip/ip addr add 2001:db8::2/64 dev dummy1
$ ./ip/ip link set up dev dummy1
$ ./ip/ip link add vxlan1 type vxlan id 100 flowlabel inherit remote 2001:db8::1 local 2001:db8::2
$ ./ip/ip link set up dev vxlan1
$ ./ip/ip addr add 2001:db8:1::2/64 dev vxlan1
$ ./ip/ip link set arp off dev vxlan1
$ ping -q 2001:db8:1::1 &
$ tshark -d udp.port==8472,vxlan -Vpni dummy1 -c1

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
