mainlining shenanigans
30a93d2b7d
When the interface is part of a bridge or an Open vSwitch port and a
packet exceed a PMTU estimate, an ICMP reply is sent to the sender. When
using the external mode (collect metadata) the source and destination
addresses are reversed, so that Open vSwitch can match the packet
against an existing (reverse) flow.
But inverting the source and destination addresses in the shared
ip_tunnel_info will make following packets of the flow to use a wrong
destination address (packets will be tunnelled to itself), if the flow
isn't updated. Which happens with Open vSwitch, until the flow times
out.
Fixes this by uncloning the skb's ip_tunnel_info before inverting its
source and destination addresses, so that the modification will only be
made for the PTMU packet, not the following ones.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
