In collect_md mode, if the tun dev is down, it still can call
ip_tunnel_rcv to receive on packets, and the rx statistics increase
improperly.

It would be nice if we could increment drop count if tunnel device is not up.

Hi Pravin

I think it’s 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 didn’t touch the packets, so increase drop statistics is not necessary.

Thanks

icmp err packets are not reliable on all networks. device stats are
much more convenient during debugging connectivity issues.

Okay, if the tunnel device is not up, packets will transfer to fallback tunnel, and if 
the fallback device is up, the RX drops will be increased as expected:

gre0: flags=193<UP,RUNNING,NOARP>  mtu 1476
        inet 172.16.20.1  netmask 255.255.255.0
        unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-F0-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  txqueuelen 1000  (UNSPEC)
        RX packets 105  bytes 4522 (4.4 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 105  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

My question is  whether we should increase the drops of original tunnel device 
instead of fallback device?
