[PATCH net-next 0/5] udp: Generalize GSO for UDP tunnels

[Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com>]

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.

Tested GRE, IPIP, and SIT over fou as well as VLXAN. This was
done using 200 TCP_STREAMs in netperf.
