This looks great! Thanks a lot of doing this. I have just a couple
comments in this and the other patches but I think they are all really
minor.
I think we need to initialize the offload structure with IPv4/v6 for
both Geneve and FOU and the tunnel type for at least Geneve. I might
have missed it but it looks like we are doing this only for VXLAN (in
a previous patch). I think once we do that, it should be pretty easy
to have the check for AF_INET when we add or remove the port to the
GRO list.
One last thing that I noticed is that the UDP tunnel GRO registration
is not namespace aware but the callers in the various tunnel
implementations are per-namespace, potentially resulting in duplicate
entries in the list. This is not a new problem but it appears a bit
more pronounced because the interfaces to the UDP offload functions
now take the namespace as a parameter.
