This series begins by reverting the recently added patch adding support for GTP with lightweight tunnels. That patch was added without getting any ACK from the maintainers and has several issues, as discussed on the mailing list.
In order to try to make this as painless as possible, I have reworked Pravin's patch into a series that is, hopefully, a bit more reviewable. That series is rebased onto a series of other changes that constitute cleanup work necessary for on-going work to IPv6 support into the driver. The IPv6 work should be rebaseable onto top of this series later on. I did try to do this other way around: rebasing the IPv6 series on top of Pravin's patch. Given that Pravin's patch contained about 200 lines of superfluous changes that would have had to be reverted in the process of realigning the patch series, things got ugly pretty quickly. The end result would not have been pretty. So the result of this is that Pravin's patch is now mostly still in place. I've reworked some small bits in order to simplify things. My expectation is that Pravin will review and test his bits here. In particular, the patch adding GTP control headers needs a bit of explanation. This is still an RFC only because I'm not quite convinced that I'm done with this. I do want to get this onto the list quickly, though, since this has implications for the next merge window. So let's see if we can sort this out to everyone's satisfaction. /Jonas Jonas Bonn (13): Revert "GTP: add support for flow based tunneling API" gtp: set initial MTU gtp: include role in link info gtp: really check namespaces before xmit gtp: drop unnecessary call to skb_dst_drop gtp: set device type gtp: rework IPv4 functionality gtp: set dev features to enable GSO gtp: support GRO gtp: refactor check_ms back into version specific handlers gtp: drop duplicated assignment gtp: update rx_length_errors for abnormally short packets gtp: set skb protocol after pulling headers Pravin B Shelar (3): gtp: add support for flow based tunneling gtp: add ability to send GTP controls headers gtp: add netlink support for setting up flow based tunnels drivers/net/gtp.c | 609 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 380 insertions(+), 229 deletions(-) -- 2.27.0
