The seg6_make_flowlabel() is used by seg6_do_srh_encap() to compute the
flowlabel from a given skb. It relies on skb_get_hash() which eventually
calls __skb_flow_dissect() to extract the flow_keys struct values from
the skb.
In case of IPv4 traffic, calling seg6_make_flowlabel() after skb_push(),
skb_reset_network_header(), and skb_mac_header_rebuild() will results in
flow_keys struct of all key values set to zero.
This patch calls seg6_make_flowlabel() before resetting the headers of skb
to get the right key values.
Extracted Key values are based on the type inner packet as follows:
1) IPv6 traffic: src_IP, dst_IP, L4 proto, and flowlabel of inner packet.
2) IPv4 traffic: src_IP, dst_IP, L4 proto, src_port, and dst_port
3) L2 traffic: depends on what kind of traffic carried into the L2
frame. IPv6 and IPv4 traffic works as discussed 1) and 2)

ECMP (equal-cost multipath) hashes are typically computed on the packets'
5-tuple(src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port, L4 proto).
For encapsulated packets, the L4 data is not readily available and ECMP
hashing will often revert to (src IP, dst IP). This will lead to traffic
polarization on a single ECMP path, causing congestion and waste of network
capacity.
In IPv6, the 20-bit flow label field is also used as part of the ECMP hash.
In the lack of L4 data, the hashing will be on (src IP, dst IP, flow
label). Having a non-zero flow label is thus important for proper traffic
load balancing when L4 data is unavailable (i.e., when packets are
encapsulated).
Currently, the seg6_do_srh_encap() function extracts the original packet's
flow label and set it as the outer IPv6 flow label. There are two issues
with this behaviour:
a) There is no guarantee that the inner flow label is set by the source.
b) If the original packet is not IPv6, the flow label will be set to
zero (e.g., IPv4 or L2 encap).
This patch adds a function, named seg6_make_flowlabel(), that computes a
flow label from a given skb. It supports IPv6, IPv4 and L2 payloads, and
leverages the per namespace 'seg6_flowlabel" sysctl value.
The currently support behaviours are as follows:
-1 set flowlabel to zero.
0 copy flowlabel from Inner paceket in case of Inner IPv6
(Set flowlabel to 0 in case IPv4/L2)
1 Compute the flowlabel using seg6_make_flowlabel()
This patch has been tested for IPv6, IPv4, and L2 traffic.

Enabling TSO can lead to abysmal performances when using seg6 in
encap mode, such as with the ixgbe driver. This patch adds a call to
iptunnel_handle_offloads() to remove the encapsulation bit if needed.

This patch implements the L2 frame encapsulation mechanism, referred to
as T.Encaps.L2 in the SRv6 specifications [1].
A new type of SRv6 tunnel mode is added (SEG6_IPTUN_MODE_L2ENCAP). It only
accepts packets with an existing MAC header (i.e., it will not work for
locally generated packets). The resulting packet looks like IPv6 -> SRH ->
Ethernet -> original L3 payload. The next header field of the SRH is set to
NEXTHDR_NONE.

To insert or encapsulate a packet with an SRH, we need a large enough skb
headroom. Currently, we are using pskb_expand_head to inconditionally increase
the size of the headroom by the amount needed by the SRH (and IPv6 header).
If this reallocation is performed by another CPU than the one that initially
allocated the skb, then when the initial CPU kfree the skb, it will enter the
__slab_free slowpath, impacting performances.
This patch replaces pskb_expand_head with skb_cow_head, that will reallocate the
skb head only if the headroom is not large enough.

This patch creates a new type of interfaceless lightweight tunnel (SEG6),
enabling the encapsulation and injection of SRH within locally emitted
packets and forwarded packets.
>From a configuration viewpoint, a seg6 tunnel would be configured as follows:
ip -6 ro ad fc00::1/128 encap seg6 mode encap segs fc42::1,fc42::2,fc42::3 dev eth0
Any packet whose destination address is fc00::1 would thus be encapsulated
within an outer IPv6 header containing the SRH with three segments, and would
actually be routed to the first segment of the list. If `mode inline' was
specified instead of `mode encap', then the SRH would be directly inserted
after the IPv6 header without outer encapsulation.
The inline mode is only available if CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_INLINE is enabled. This
feature was made configurable because direct header insertion may break
several mechanisms such as PMTUD or IPSec AH.
