For both IPv4 and IPv6, if we can't match errors to a socket, try
tunnels before ignoring them. Look up a socket with the original source
and destination ports as found in the UDP packet inside the ICMP payload,
this will work for tunnels that force the same destination port for both
endpoints, i.e. VXLAN and GENEVE.
Actually, lwtunnels could break this assumption if they are configured by
an external control plane to have different destination ports on the
endpoints: in this case, we won't be able to trace ICMP messages back to
them.
For IPv6 redirect messages, call ip6_redirect() directly with the output
interface argument set to the interface we received the packet from (as
it's the very interface we should build the exception on), otherwise the
new nexthop will be rejected. There's no such need for IPv4.
Tunnels can now export an encap_err_lookup() operation that indicates a
match. Pass the packet to the lookup function, and if the tunnel driver
reports a matching association, continue with regular ICMP error handling.
v2:
- Added newline between network and transport header sets in
__udp{4,6}_lib_err_encap() (David Miller)
- Removed redundant skb_reset_network_header(skb); in
__udp4_lib_err_encap()
- Removed redundant reassignment of iph in __udp4_lib_err_encap()
(Sabrina Dubroca)
- Edited comment to __udp{4,6}_lib_err_encap() to reflect the fact this
won't work with lwtunnels configured to use asymmetric ports. By the way,
it's VXLAN, not VxLAN (Jiri Benc)

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.
