Currently, when the user wants to create GTP device, he has to provide file handles to the sockets created in userspace (IFLA_GTP_FD0, IFLA_GTP_FD1). This behaviour is not ideal, considering the option of adding support for GTP device creation through ip link. Ip link application is not a good place to create such sockets. This patch allows to create GTP device without providing IFLA_GTP_FD0 and IFLA_GTP_FD1 arguments. If the user sets IFLA_GTP_CREATE_SOCKETS attribute, then GTP module takes care of creating UDP sockets by itself. Sockets are created with the commonly known UDP ports used for GTP protocol (GTP0_PORT and GTP1U_PORT). In this case we don't have to provide encap_destroy because no extra deinitialization is needed, everything is covered by udp_tunnel_sock_release. Note: GTP instance created with only this change applied, does not handle GTP Echo Requests. This is implemented in the following patch.

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.
