    udp: Generalize skb_udp_segment · 8bce6d7d
    Tom Herbert 提交于
    skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to
    segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes
    segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN
    encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to
    operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol.
    
    The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner
    header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol
    (in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is
    effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto
    helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These
    functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation
    is occuring.
    
    When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the
    inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the
    case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from
    inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is
    set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE
    currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol
    in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function
    directly).
