Introduce sw acceleration for rx path of IPIP tunnels relying on the
netfilter flowtable infrastructure. Subsequent patches will add sw
acceleration for IPIP tunnels tx path.
This series introduces basic infrastructure to accelerate other tunnel
types (e.g. IP6IP6).
IPIP rx sw acceleration can be tested running the following scenario where
the traffic is forwarded between two NICs (eth0 and eth1) and an IPIP
tunnel is used to access a remote site (using eth1 as the underlay device):
ETH0 -- TUN0 <==> ETH1 -- [IP network] -- TUN1 (192.168.100.2)
$ip addr show
6: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:00:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.2/24 scope global eth0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
7: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:11:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.1/24 scope global eth1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
8: tun0@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

}
Reproducing the scenario described above using veths I got the following
results:
- TCP stream received from the IPIP tunnel:
- net-next: (baseline) ~ 71Gbps
- net-next + IPIP flowtbale support: ~101Gbps
