There's ongoing work in this driver to provide support for IPv6, GRO, GSO, and "collect metadata" mode operation. In order to facilitate this work going forward, this short series accumulates already ACK:ed patches that are ready for the next merge window.
All of these patches should be uncontroversial at this point, including the first one in the series that reverts a recently added change to introduce "collect metadata" mode. As that patch produces 'broken' packets when common GTP headers are in place, it seems better to revert it and rethink things a bit before inclusion. /Jonas Jonas Bonn (7): 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: update rx_length_errors for abnormally short packets drivers/net/gtp.c | 540 +++++++++-------------------- include/uapi/linux/gtp.h | 12 - include/uapi/linux/if_link.h | 1 - include/uapi/linux/if_tunnel.h | 1 - tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h | 1 - 5 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 397 deletions(-) -- 2.27.0
