William Dauchy 5fdcce211b net, ip6_tunnel: enhance tunnel locate with link check
With ipip, it is possible to create an extra interface explicitly
attached to a given physical interface:

  # ip link show tunl0
  4: tunl0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
  # ip link add tunl1 type ipip dev eth0
  # ip link show tunl1
  6: tunl1@eth0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

But it is not possible with ip6tnl:

  # ip link show ip6tnl0
  5: ip6tnl0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1452 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/tunnel6 :: brd ::
  # ip link add ip6tnl1 type ip6tnl dev eth0
  RTNETLINK answers: File exists

This patch aims to make it possible by adding link comparaison in both
tunnel locate and lookup functions; we also modify mtu calculation when
attached to an interface with a lower mtu.

This permits to make use of x-netns communication by moving the newly
created tunnel in a given netns.

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.
