udp: Generalize GSO for UDP tunnels
This patch set generalizes the UDP tunnel segmentation functions so
that they can work with various protocol encapsulations. The primary
change is to set the inner_protocol field in the skbuff when creating
the encapsulated packet, and then in skb_udp_tunnel_segment this data
is used to determine the function for segmenting the encapsulated
packet. The inner_protocol field is overloaded to take either an
Ethertype or IP protocol.
The inner_protocol is set on transmit using skb_set_inner_ipproto or
skb_set_inner_protocol functions. VXLAN and IP tunnels (for fou GSO)
were modified to call these.
Notes:
- GSO for GRE/UDP where GRE checksum is enabled does not work.
Handling this will require some special case code.
- Software GSO now supports many varieties of encapsulation with
SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL{_CSUM}. We still need a mechanism to query
for device support of particular combinations (I intend to
add ndo_gso_check for that).
- MPLS seems to be the only previous user of inner_protocol. I don't
believe these patches can affect that. For supporting GSO with
MPLS over UDP, the inner_protocol should be set using the
helper functions in this patch.
- GSO for L2TP/UDP should also be straightforward now.
v2:
- Respin for Eric's restructuring of skbuff.
Tested GRE, IPIP, and SIT over fou as well as VLXAN. This was
done using 200 TCP_STREAMs in netperf.
