Peilin Ye 31c417c948 ip_gre, ip6_gre: Fix race condition on o_seqno in collect_md mode 
As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, currently using TUNNEL_SEQ in
collect_md mode is racy for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices.  Consider the
following sequence of events:

1. An [IP6]GRE[TAP] device is created in collect_md mode using "ip link
   add ... external".  "ip" ignores "[o]seq" if "external" is specified,
   so TUNNEL_SEQ is off, and the device is marked as NETIF_F_LLTX (i.e.
   it uses lockless TX);
2. Someone sets TUNNEL_SEQ on outgoing skb's, using e.g.
   bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key() in an eBPF program attached to this device;
3. gre_fb_xmit() or __gre6_xmit() processes these skb's:

	gre_build_header(skb, tun_hlen,
			 flags, protocol,
			 tunnel_id_to_key32(tun_info->key.tun_id),
			 (flags & TUNNEL_SEQ) ? htonl(tunnel->o_seqno++)
					      : 0);   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since we are not using the TX lock (&txq->_xmit_lock), multiple CPUs may
try to do this tunnel->o_seqno++ in parallel, which is racy.  Fix it by
making o_seqno atomic_t.

As mentioned by Eric Dumazet in commit b790e01aee ("ip_gre: lockless
xmit"), making o_seqno atomic_t increases "chance for packets being out
of order at receiver" when NETIF_F_LLTX is on.

Maybe a better fix would be:

1. Do not ignore "oseq" in external mode.  Users MUST specify "oseq" if
   they want the kernel to allow sequencing of outgoing packets;
2. Reject all outgoing TUNNEL_SEQ packets if the device was not created
   with "oseq".

Unfortunately, that would break userspace.

We could now make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX, but let us
do it in separate patches to keep this fix minimal.

README 

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.
