Pablo Neira Ayuso 1fac52da59 net: flow_offload: consolidate indirect flow_block infrastructure
Tunnel devices provide no dev->netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc(...) interface.
The tunnel device and route control plane does not provide an obvious
way to relate tunnel and physical devices.

This patch allows drivers to register a tunnel device offload handler
for the tc and netfilter frontends through flow_indr_dev_register() and
flow_indr_dev_unregister().

The frontend calls flow_indr_dev_setup_offload() that iterates over the
list of drivers that are offering tunnel device hardware offload
support and it sets up the flow block for this tunnel device.

If the driver module is removed, the indirect flow_block ends up with a
stale callback reference. The module removal path triggers the
dev_shutdown() path to remove the qdisc and the flow_blocks for the
physical devices. However, this is not useful for tunnel devices, where
relation between the physical and the tunnel device is not explicit.

This patch introduces a cleanup callback that is invoked when the driver
module is removed to clean up the tunnel device flow_block. This patch
defines struct flow_block_indr and it uses it from flow_block_cb to
store the information that front-end requires to perform the
flow_block_cb cleanup on module removal.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
