I think that you are correct and inner_protocol needs
to be in struct ovs_gso_cb so that it can
be accessed via skb_network_protocol() from
rpl___skb_gso_segment().
However I think it may also need to be present in struct ovs_cb
so that it can be set correctly.
Currently it is set unconditionally
in ovs_execute_actions() and Jesse has suggested setting
it conditionally in pop_mpls() (which is called by do_execute_actions()).
But regardless it seems to me that the field would need to be available
in struct ovs_cb.

I'm not sure I see the benefit but I do agree with your analysis and
I'll make it so.

Are you thinking of something like the following which applies
prior to the MPLS code.
[RFC] datapath: simplify VLAN segmentation
*** Do not apply: for informational purposes only
Push vlan tag onto packet before segmentation to simplify the code.
As suggested by Pravin Shelar.
Compile tested only.
