<title>bridge: netfilter: fix update_pmtu crash with GRE</title>

<id>631339f1e544a4d39a63cfe6708c5bddcd5a2c48</id>
<content type='text'>
As GRE tries to call the update_pmtu function on skb-&gt;dst and
bridge supplies an skb-&gt;dst that has a NULL ops field, all is
not well.

This patch fixes this by giving the bridge device an ops field
with an update_pmtu function.  For the moment I've left all
other fields blank but we can fill them in later should the
need arise.

Based on report and patch by Philip Craig.

My change

    commit e2a6b85247aacc52d6ba0d9b37a99b8d1a3e0d83
    net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device

didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions.  So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.

This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.

It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration.  This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.

The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

NFPROTO_ARP actually has a different value from NF_ARP, so ensure all
callers use the new value so that packets _do_ get delivered to the
registered hooks.

Some code here depends on CONFIG_KMOD to not try to load
protocol modules or similar, replace by CONFIG_MODULES
where more than just request_module depends on CONFIG_KMOD
and and also use try_then_request_module in ebtables.

By passing in the family through which extensions were invoked, a bit
of data space can be reclaimed. The "family" member will be added to
the parameter structures and the check functions be adjusted.
