In several gso_segment functions there are checks of gso_type against
a seemingly arbitrary list of SKB_GSO_* flags. This seems like an
attempt to identify unsupported GSO types, but since the stack is
the one that set these GSO types in the first place this seems
unnecessary to do. If a combination isn't valid in the first
place that stack should not allow setting it.

This is a code simplication especially for add new GSO types.

<title>GSO: Add GSO type for fixed IPv4 ID</title>

This patch adds support for TSO using IPv4 headers with a fixed IP ID
field.  This is meant to allow us to do a lossless GRO in the case of TCP
flows that use a fixed IP ID such as those that convert IPv6 header to IPv4
headers.

In addition I am adding a feature that for now I am referring to TSO with
IP ID mangling.  Basically when this flag is enabled the device has the
option to either output the flow with incrementing IP IDs or with a fixed
IP ID regardless of what the original IP ID ordering was.  This is useful
in cases where the DF bit is set and we do not care if the original IP ID
value is maintained.

<title>mpls: find_outdev: check for err ptr in addition to NULL check</title>

<id>94a57f1f8a9de90ab4b0f8748361ff8be706c80c</id>
<content type='text'>
find_outdev calls inet{,6}_fib_lookup_dev() or dev_get_by_index() to
find the output device. In case of an error, inet{,6}_fib_lookup_dev()
returns error pointer and dev_get_by_index() returns NULL. But the function
only checks for NULL and thus can end up calling dev_put on an ERR_PTR.
This patch adds an additional check for err ptr after the NULL check.

path to 10.1.1.8 and no default route:

Avoid users having to manually load the module by adding a module
alias allowing it to be autoloaded by the lwt infra.

Here we had an overlapping change, where in 'net' the extraneous stats
bump was being removed whilst in 'net-next' the final argument to
udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() was being changed.

<title>mpls: make via address optional for multipath routes</title>

The via address is optional for a single path route, yet is mandatory
when the multipath attribute is used:

  # ip -f mpls route add 100 dev lo
  # ip -f mpls route add 101 nexthop dev lo
  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Make them consistent by making the via address optional when the
RTA_MULTIPATH attribute is being parsed so that both forms of
specifying the route work.

<title>mpls: fix out-of-bounds access when via address not specified</title>

When a via address isn't specified, the via table is left initialised
to 0 (NEIGH_ARP_TABLE), and the via address length also left
initialised to 0. This results in a via address array of length 0
being allocated (contiguous with route and nexthop array), meaning
that when a packet is sent using neigh_xmit the neighbour lookup and
creation will cause an out-of-bounds access when accessing the 4 bytes
of the IPv4 address it assumes it has been given a pointer to.

This could be fixed by allocating the 4 bytes of via address necessary
and leaving it as all zeroes. However, it seems wrong to me to use an
ipv4 nexthop (including possibly ARPing for 0.0.0.0) when the user
didn't specify to do so.

Instead, set the via address table to NEIGH_NR_TABLES to signify it
hasn't been specified and use this at forwarding time to signify a
neigh_xmit using an L2 address consisting of the device address. This
mechanism is the same as that used for both ARP and ND for loopback
interfaces and those flagged as no-arp, which are all we can really
support in this case.

<title>mpls: don't dump RTA_VIA attribute if not specified</title>

The problem seen is that when adding a route with a nexthop with no
via address specified, iproute2 generates bogus output:

  # ip -f mpls route add 100 dev lo
  # ip -f mpls route list
  100 via inet 0.0.8.0 dev lo

The reason for this is that the kernel generates an RTA_VIA attribute
with the family set to AF_INET, but the via address data having zero
length. The cause of family being AF_INET is that on route insert
cfg-&gt;rc_via_table is left set to 0, which just happens to be
NEIGH_ARP_TABLE which is then translated into AF_INET.

iproute2 doesn't validate the length prior to printing and so prints
garbage. Although it could be fixed to do the validation, I would
argue that AF_INET addresses should always be exactly 4 bytes so the
kernel is really giving userspace bogus data.

Therefore, avoid generating the RTA_VIA attribute when dumping the
route if the via address wasn't specified on add/modify. This is
indicated by NEIGH_ARP_TABLE and a zero via address length - if the
user specified a via address the address length would have been
validated such that it was 4 bytes. Although this is a change in
behaviour that is visible to userspace, I believe that what was
generated before was invalid and as such userspace wouldn't be
expecting it.

If an L2 via address for an mpls nexthop is specified, the length of
the L2 address must match that expected by the output device,
otherwise it could access memory beyond the end of the via address
buffer in the route.

This check was present prior to commit f8efb73c97e2 ("mpls: multipath
route support"), but got lost in the refactoring, so add it back,
applying it to all nexthops in multipath routes.
