Revision 5fdcce211b3a41c3fed229333027f59a94a2f265 authored by William Dauchy on 13 February 2020, 17:19:22 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 14 February 2020, 15:31:48 UTC
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.
