[PATCH net-next v4 0/5] net: gso: restore outer ip ids correctly

[Richard Gobert <richardbgobert@gmail.com>]

GRO currently ignores outer IPv4 header IDs for encapsulated packets
that have their don't-fragment flag set. GSO, however, always assumes
that outer IP IDs are incrementing. This results in GSO mangling the
outer IDs when they aren't incrementing. For example, GSO mangles the
outer IDs of IPv6 packets that were converted to IPv4, which must
have an ID of 0 according to RFC 6145, sect. 5.1.

GRO+GSO is supposed to be entirely transparent by default. GSO already
correctly restores inner IDs and IDs of non-encapsulated packets. The
tx-tcp-mangleid-segmentation feature can be enabled to allow the
mangling of such IDs so that TSO can be used.

This series fixes outer ID restoration for encapsulated packets when
tx-tcp-mangleid-segmentation is disabled. It also allows GRO to merge
packets with fixed IDs that don't have their don't-fragment flag set.

v3 -> v4:
  - Specify that mangleid for outer ids cannot turn incrementing ids to fixed if DF is unset
  - Update segmentation-offload documentation
  - Fix setting fixed ids in ef100 TSO
  - Reformat gro_receive_network_flush again

v2 -> v3:
 - Make argument const in fou_gro_ops helper
 - Rename SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER to SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID
 - Fix formatting in selftest, gro_receive_network_flush and tcp4_gro_complete

v1 -> v2:
 - Add fou_gro_ops helper
 - Clarify why sk_family check works
 - Fix ipip packet generation in selftest
