Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/3] Tunneling fixes

This series fixes a problem that was reported where encapsulated packets
do not have their encapsulation offload markers stripped off when being
decapsulated. This causes a significant performance drop if the packets
are later retransmitted.

Fixing this revealed two other bugs which are also addressed as prerequisites:
 * GRO can aggregate packets for multiple layers of encapsulation which the
   stack cannot properly handle.
 * IPIP packets which are combined by GRO are not marked properly with their
   GSO type.

Note that this is based off the net-next tree as the current target for
bug fixes.

v2: No code changes, just additional information in commit messages and
    a new cover letter.

Jesse Gross (3):
  ipip: Properly mark ipip GRO packets as encapsulated.
  tunnels: Don't apply GRO to multiple layers of encapsulation.
  tunnels: Remove encapsulation offloads on decap.
