Add CAN specific skb extension support and add first currently needed
local_origin variable.

On the CAN stack we push same skb data in different direction depending
on the interface type:
- to the HW egress and at same time back to the stack as echo
- over virtual vcan/vxcan interfaces as egress on one side and ingress on other
    side of the vxcan tunnel.
We can't use skb->sk as marker of the origin, because not all packets
not all packets with local_origin are assigned to some socket. Some of
them are generate from the kernel, for example like J1939 control messages.
So, to properly detect flow direction is is better to store this information
as part of the SKB.

The advantage of using skb_ext is that it is options and extendable
without affecting other skb users. It can be shared between cloned skbs and
duplicated only if needed.

changes v2:
- migrate it to SKB_EXT

The use of SKB_EXT seems to be very costly to just store a boolean value.

What I could see from some of the other SKB_EXT users this extension (which
performs alloc & COW) is used in special circumstances.

With your suggestion this additional effort is needed for every CAN related
skb.

So at least for this use-case extending struct can_skb_priv seems to be more
efficient.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/can/skb.h#L44

We might get into problems with PF_PACKET sockets when extending the
can_skb_priv length beyond HH_DATA_MOD, see:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/can/skb.h#L99

But for now I'm not sure that SKB_EXT isn't too heavy to store that single
flag.

Yes, I was thinking about potential overkill for, currently, just one
bit of storage. But here is my motivation:
CAN frameworks is currently using two ways to store metaadata (expecpt
of SKB):
1. skb->cb. This variant is not extendable and can be used only insight
    of one driver.
2. can_skb_priv as part of skb->data->head. Is potentially extendable
    but we will need to use skb_copy instead of skb_clone. Because we
    can't modify head for clone only. IMO, this will add potentially more
    overhead than SKB_EXT.

In long term, as soon as we will need to extend can specific meta
data, we will have same situation: it will be not big enough to migrate
to SKB_EXT. Maybe we need to move can_skb_priv to SKB_EXT as well?

I wonder if our current issue with the correct attribution of host generated CAN skbs in j1939 could be solved by additionally setting skb->redirected = 1 when the CAN skb is echo'ed back.

Or what about creating a single socket/sk instance for the j1939 protocol which makes j1939 created skbs assigned to the j1939 system?

Best regards,
Oliver
