Merge branch 'bpf-tc-tunneling'



Willem de Bruijn says:

====================
BPF allows for dynamic tunneling, choosing the tunnel destination and
features on-demand. Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room to allow for efficient
tunneling at the TC hooks.

Most features are required for large packets with GSO, as these will
be modified after this patch.

Patch 1
  is a performance optimization, avoiding an unnecessary unclone
  for the TCP hot path.

Patches 2..6
  introduce a regression test. These can be squashed, but the code is
  arguably more readable when gradually expanding the feature set.

Patch 7
  is a performance optimization, avoid copying network headers
  that are going to be overwritten. This also simplifies the bpf
  program.

Patch 8
  reenables bpf_skb_adjust_room for UDP packets.

Patch 9
  configures skb tunneling metadata analogous to tunnel devices.

Patches 10..13
  expand the regression test to make use of the new features and
  enable the GSO testcases.

Changes
  v1->v2
  - move BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_MASK out of uapi as it can be expanded
  - document new flags
  - in tests replace netcat -q flag with coreutils timeout:
      the -q flag is not supported in all netcat versions
  v2->v3
  - move BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_ENCAP_L3_MASK out of uapi as it has no
    use in userspace
