Allow the flowtable to parse IPv4-in-IPv6 and IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnels by
accepting both IPPROTO_IPIP and IPPROTO_IPV6 as the inner protocol when
walking the outer header in nf_flow_ip4_tunnel_proto() and
nf_flow_ip6_tunnel_proto(). This is a preliminary patch to support IPv4
over IPv6 and SIT tunnel flowtable offload.
Please note IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel flowtable offloading is not
enabled yet.

Pop the outer tunnel header and set skb->protocol to the inner protocol
derived from ctx->tun.inner_proto in nf_flow_ip_tunnel_pop(), instead of
bailing out unless the tunnel carries IP-in-IP or IPv6-in-IPv6.
This is a preliminary patch to support IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel
flowtable offload.

Store the outer tunnel addresses and inner protocol in the flow tuple
unconditionally in nf_flow_tuple_encap(), instead of only when the
tunnel is IP-in-IP or IPv6-in-IPv6. Bail out early when the inner
protocol is neither IPPROTO_IPIP nor IPPROTO_IPV6.
This makes the tuple usable for cross-family tunnels such as
IPv4-over-IPv6 and SIT, where the inner protocol differs from the
outer address family.
This is a preliminary patch to support IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel
flowtable offload.
Please note IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel flowtable offloading is not
enabled yet.

Add encap_proto (AF_INET or AF_INET6) to struct flow_offload_tunnel
to allow its use as part of the hash table key during flowtable entry
lookup.
This is a preliminary change to support IPv4 over IPv6 tunneling via
the flowtable infrastructure for software acceleration.

Introduce nf_flow_offload_check_mtu() helper and use the encapsulated
protocol (tun.encap_proto) to compute the tunnel overhead instead of
relying on tun_num, so the correct inner header size (IPv4 vs IPv6) is
accounted for. Use it in both the IPv4 and IPv6 forward paths.
This is a preliminary patch to support IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT flowtable
tunnel offload.
Please note IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel flowtable offloading is not
enabled yet.

Refactor nf_flow_tunnel_ipip_push() and nf_flow_tunnel_ip6ip6_push()
into nf_flow_tunnel_ip_push() and nf_flow_tunnel_ip6_push(), keying the
inner header handling off tuple->tun.inner_proto so both IP-in-IP and
IPv6-in-IPv6 inner protocols are supported regardless of the outer
address family. Replace nf_flow_tunnel_v4_push() and
nf_flow_tunnel_v6_push() with a single nf_flow_tunnel_push() that
dispatches on tuple->tun.encap_proto, and set skb->protocol explicitly
after pushing the outer header.
This is a preliminary patch to support IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel
flowtable offload.
Please note IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel flowtable offloading is not
enabled yet.

IIRC this is pointing to the same address, it is a double fetch of the
same pointer? See below:

... time to use union nf_inet_addr here instead of these two ip_daddr
and ip6_daddr?
