This adds a new netdevice feature, so that the offloading of RX port for
UDP tunnels can be disabled by the administrator on some netdevices,
using the "rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload" feature in ethtool.
This feature is set for all devices that provide ndo_udp_tunnel_add.

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to
(P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected.
So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation
point and deliver it to IP layer.
This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it
would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover
skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual
segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.
With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list,
trusting its sizes are already in accordance.
This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several
packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.
v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb->cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating
single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
v3:
- consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen()
- rebased due to 5c7cdf339a ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for
unsupported GSO")

This patch defines two new GSO definitions SKB_GSO_IPXIP4 and
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 along with corresponding NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP4 and
NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP6. These are used to described IP in IP
tunnel and what the outer protocol is. The inner protocol
can be deduced from other GSO types (e.g. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 and
SKB_GSO_TCPV6). The GSO types of SKB_GSO_IPIP and SKB_GSO_SIT
are removed (these are both instances of SKB_GSO_IPXIP4).
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 will be used when support for GSO with IP

This patch adds support for something I am referring to as GSO partial.
The basic idea is that we can support a broader range of devices for
segmentation if we use fixed outer headers and have the hardware only
really deal with segmenting the inner header. The idea behind the naming
is due to the fact that everything before csum_start will be fixed headers,
and everything after will be the region that is handled by hardware.
With the current implementation it allows us to add support for the
following GSO types with an inner TSO_MANGLEID or TSO6 offload:
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM
NETIF_F_GSO_IPIP
NETIF_F_GSO_SIT
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM
In the case of hardware that already supports tunneling we may be able to
extend this further to support TSO_TCPV4 without TSO_MANGLEID if the
hardware can support updating inner IPv4 headers.

This patch adds support for TSO using IPv4 headers with a fixed IP ID
field. This is meant to allow us to do a lossless GRO in the case of TCP
flows that use a fixed IP ID such as those that convert IPv6 header to IPv4
headers.
In addition I am adding a feature that for now I am referring to TSO with
IP ID mangling. Basically when this flag is enabled the device has the
option to either output the flow with incrementing IP IDs or with a fixed
IP ID regardless of what the original IP ID ordering was. This is useful
in cases where the DF bit is set and we do not care if the original IP ID
value is maintained.

The name NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is a misnomer. This does not correspond to the

NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is being used as a mask).

There are some netdev features, which when disabled on an upper device,
such as a bonding master or a bridge, must be disabled and cannot be
re-enabled on underlying devices.
This is a rework of an earlier more heavy-handed appraoch, which simply
disables and prevents re-enabling of netdev features listed in a new
define in include/net/netdev_features.h, NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES. Any upper
device that disables a flag in that feature mask, the disabling will
propagate down the stack, and any lower device that has any upper device
with one of those flags disabled should not be able to enable said flag.
Initially, only LRO is included for proof of concept, and because this
code effectively does the same thing as dev_disable_lro(), though it will
also activate from the ethtool path, which was one of the goals here.

This has been successfully tested with bnx2x, qlcnic and netxen network
cards as slaves in a bond interface. Turning LRO on or off on the master
also turns it on or off on each of the slaves, new slaves are added with
LRO in the same state as the master, and LRO can't be toggled on the
slaves.
Also, this should largely remove the need for dev_disable_lro(), and most,
if not all, of its call sites can be replaced by simply making sure
NETIF_F_LRO isn't included in the relevant device's feature flags.
Note that this patch is driven by bug reports from users saying it was
confusing that bonds and slaves had different settings for the same
features, and while it won't be 100% in sync if a lower device doesn't
support a feature like LRO, I think this is a good step in the right
direction.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.
The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.
SKB Usage:
When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:
* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.
* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.
* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.
I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.
Features:
I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.
This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.
A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.
Alternate Implementation:
One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().
I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.
MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

This flag requests that network devices pass all
received frames up the stack, even ones with errors
such as invalid FCS (frame check sum). This will
allow sniffers to see bad packets and perhaps
give the user some idea how to fix the problem.

When set on hardware that supports the feature,
this causes the Ethernet FCS to be appended
to the end of the skb.
Useful for sniffing packets.

Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.
For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

Define feature values by bit position instead of direct 2**i values
and force the values to be of type netdev_features_t.
Cleaned and extended from patch by Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com>:
+ added netdev_features_t casts
+ included bits under NETIF_F_GSO_MASK
+ moved feature #defines out of struct net_device definition

Move features definitions to separate header so that linux/skbuff.h won't
need to include linux/netdevice.h after netdev_features_t is introduced.
