Commit e271c7b442 ("gre: do not keep the GRE header around in collect
medata mode") did reset the mac_header for the collect_md case. Let's
extend this behaviour to classical gre devices as well.
ipgre_header_parse() seems to be the only case that requires mac_header
to point to the outer header. We can detect this case accurately by
checking ->header_ops. For all other cases, we can reset mac_header.
This allows to push an Ethernet header to ipgre packets and redirect
them to an Ethernet device:
$ tc filter add dev gre0 ingress matchall \
action vlan push_eth dst_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:01 \
src_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:00 \
action mirred egress redirect dev eth0
Before this patch, this worked only for collect_md gre devices.
Now this works for regular gre devices as well. Only the special case
of gre devices that use ipgre_header_ops isn't supported.

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.
