Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 0/2] ip_gre, ip6_gre: Make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX

From: Peilin Ye <peilin.ye@...edance.com>

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1650580763.git.peilin.ye@bytedance.com/

  - deleted "depends on patch..." in [1/2]'s commit message

Hi all,

This patchset depends on these fixes [1], which has been merged into
net-next.  Since o_seqno is now atomic_t, we can always turn on
NETIF_F_LLTX for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices, since we no longer need the TX
lock (&txq->_xmit_lock).

We could probably do the same thing to [IP6]ERSPAN devices as well, but
I'm not familiar with them yet.  For example, ERSPAN devices are
initialized as |= GRE_FEATURES in erspan_tunnel_init(), but I don't see
IP6ERSPAN devices being initialized as |= GRE6_FEATURES.  Where should we
initialize IP6ERSPAN devices' ->features?  Please suggest if I'm missing
something, thanks!

  ip6_gre: Make IP6GRE and IP6GRETAP devices always NETIF_F_LLTX
