Hi,

I would like to request for cherry-picking commit 7074732c8fae ("ip_tunnels: allow VXLAN/GENEVE to inherit TOS/TTL from VLAN") in linux-5.15.y and linux-5.4.y branches.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...

This commit has lived since a long time in upstream (11 months), the potential regressions seems low. The cherry-pick is straightforward. It fixes the vxlan tos inherit option when vlan frames are encapsulated in vxlan.

The kernel 5.4 and 5.15 are used by a lot of vendors, having this patch will fix this bug.

You forgot about 5.10.y :)

Now queued up for all 3, thanks.
