I have also found some bugs about the tunnel packet type parsing API[1], including one of the problems fixed by this patch.

The l2_len in mbuf is also calculated from the outer L4 header, so it is calculated in the same way here.
However, this is easy to be misunderstood, can we add a note to inner_l2_len as follows?

struct rte_net_hdr_lens {
	uint8_t l2_len;
	/* Outer_L4_len + ... + inner L2_len for tunneling pkt. */
	uint8_t inner_l2_len;
	uint16_t l3_len;
	uint16_t inner_l3_len;
	uint16_t tunnel_len;
	uint8_t l4_len;
	uint8_t inner_l4_len;
};
