In "vxlan: Call udp_sock_create" there was a logic error that resulted in
the default for IPv6 VXLAN tunnels going from using checksums to not using
checksums. Since there is currently no support in iproute2 for setting
these values it means that a kernel after the change cannot talk over a IPv6
VXLAN tunnel to a kernel prior the change.

When doing GRO processing for UDP tunnels, we never add
SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL to gso_type - only the type of the inner protocol
is added (such as SKB_GSO_TCPV4). The result is that if the packet is
later resegmented we will do GSO but not treat it as a tunnel. This
results in UDP fragmentation of the outer header instead of (i.e.) TCP

Add definition to vxlan nla_policy for UDP checksum. This is necessary

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

The first initializer in the following
union vxlan_addr ipa = {
.sin.sin_addr.s_addr = tip,
.sa.sa_family = AF_INET,
};
is optimised away by the compiler, due to the second initializer,
therefore initialising .sin.sin_addr.s_addr always to 0.
This results in netlink messages indicating a L3 miss never contain the
missed IP address. This was observed with GCC 4.8 and 4.9. I do not know about previous versions.
The problem affects user space programs relying on an IP address being
sent as part of a netlink message indicating a L3 miss.

When we mirror packets from a vxlan tunnel to other device,
the mirror device should see the same packets (that is, without
outer header). Because vxlan tunnel sets dev->hard_header_len,
tcf_mirred() resets mac header back to outer mac, the mirror device
actually sees packets with outer headers
Vxlan tunnel should set dev->needed_headroom instead of
dev->hard_header_len, like what other ip tunnels do. This fixes
the above problem.

This patch allows to switch the netns when packet is encapsulated or
decapsulated.
The vxlan socket is openned into the i/o netns, ie into the netns where
encapsulated packets are received. The socket lookup is done into this netns to
find the corresponding vxlan tunnel. After decapsulation, the packet is
injecting into the corresponding interface which may stand to another netns.
When one of the two netns is removed, the tunnel is destroyed.
Configuration example:
ip netns add netns1
ip netns exec netns1 ip link set lo up
ip link add vxlan10 type vxlan id 10 group 239.0.0.10 dev eth0 dstport 0
ip link set vxlan10 netns netns1

In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.
The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

The VXLAN neigh_reduce() code is completely non-functional since
check-in. Specific errors:
1) The original code drops all packets with a multicast destination address,
even though neighbor solicitations are sent to the solicited-node
address, a multicast address. The code after this check was never run.
2) The neighbor table lookup used the IPv6 header destination, which is the
solicited node address, rather than the target address from the
neighbor solicitation. So neighbor lookups would always fail if it
got this far. Also for L3MISSes.
3) The code calls ndisc_send_na(), which does a send on the tunnel device.
The context for neigh_reduce() is the transmit path, vxlan_xmit(),
where the host or a bridge-attached neighbor is trying to transmit
a neighbor solicitation. To respond to it, the tunnel endpoint needs
to do a *receive* of the appropriate neighbor advertisement. Doing a
send, would only try to send the advertisement, encapsulated, to the
remote destinations in the fdb -- hosts that definitely did not do the
corresponding solicitation.
4) The code uses the tunnel endpoint IPv6 forwarding flag to determine the
isrouter flag in the advertisement. This has nothing to do with whether
or not the target is a router, and generally won't be set since the
tunnel endpoint is bridging, not routing, traffic.
The patch below creates a proxy neighbor advertisement to respond to
neighbor solicitions as intended, providing proper IPv6 support for neighbor
reduction.

As per suggestion from Eric W. Biederman, vxlan should be using
{un,}register_pernet_subsys() instead of {un,}register_pernet_device()
to ensure the vxlan_net structure is initialized before and cleaned
up after all network devices in a given network namespace i.e. when
dealing with network notifiers. This is similarly handeled already in
commit 91e2ff3528 ("net: Teach vlans to cleanup as a pernet subsystem")
and, thus, improves upon fd27e0d44a ("net: vxlan: do not use vxlan_net
before checking event type"). Just as in 91e2ff3528, we do not need
to explicitly handle deletion of vxlan devices as network namespace
exit calls dellink on all remaining virtual devices, and
rtnl_link_unregister() calls dellink on all outstanding devices in that
network namespace, so we can entirely drop the pernet exit operation
as well. Moreover, on vxlan module exit, rcu_barrier() is called by
netns since commit 3a765edadb ("netns: Add an explicit rcu_barrier
to unregister_pernet_{device|subsys}"), so this may be omitted. Tested
with various scenarios and works well on my side.

Apparently loopback device is being registered first and thus we
receive an event notification when vxlan_net is not ready. Hence,
when we call net_generic() and request vxlan_net_id, we seem to
access garbage at that point in time. In setup_net() where we set
up a newly allocated network namespace, we traverse the list of
pernet ops ...
list_for_each_entry(ops, &pernet_list, list) {
error = ops_init(ops, net);
if (error < 0)
goto out_undo;
}
... and loopback_net_init() is invoked first here, so in the middle
of setup_net() we get this notification in vxlan. As currently we
only care about devices that unregister, move access through
net_generic() there. Fix is based on Cong Wang's proposal, but
only changes what is needed here. It sucks a bit as we only work
around the actual cure: right now it seems the only way to check if
a netns actually finished traversing all init ops would be to check
if it's part of net_namespace_list. But that I find quite expensive
each time we go through a notifier callback. Anyway, did a couple
of tests and it seems good for now.

We can create a vxlan device with an explicit underlying carrier.
In that case, when the carrier link is being deleted from the
system (e.g. due to module unload) we should also clean up all
created vxlan devices on top of it since otherwise we're in an
inconsistent state in vxlan device. In that case, the user needs
to remove all such devices, while in case of other virtual devs
that sit on top of physical ones, it is usually the case that
these devices do unregister automatically as well and do not
leave the burden on the user.
This work is not necessary when vxlan device was not created with
a real underlying device, as connections can resume in that case
when driver is plugged again. But at least for the other cases,
we should go ahead and do the cleanup on removal.
We don't register the notifier during vxlan_newlink() here since
I consider this event rather rare, and therefore we should not
bloat vxlan's core structure unecessary. Also, we can simply make
use of unregister_netdevice_many() to batch that. fdb is flushed
upon ndo_stop().
