Subject: [PATCH 3.16 129/217] tunnels: Don't apply GRO to multiple layers
 of encapsulation.

3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jesse Gross <jesse@...nel.org>

commit fac8e0f579695a3ecbc4d3cac369139d7f819971 upstream.

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.

No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.

UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.
