 Now that UFO is split into v4 and v6 parts, we can bring
 back v4 support without any trouble.

 Continue to handle legacy applications by selecting the
 IPv6 fragment id but do not change the gso type.  Thist
 makes sure that two legacy VMs may still communicate.

 Based on original work from Ben Hutchings.

This probably means UDPv6 with vlan does not work well, looks like another
 independent fixe and also for stable.

Ok.  I can split this out.

Isn't this an issue that we use SKB_GSO_UDP for a UDPv6 packet? Especially
 consider we want to fix UFOv6 in the future? We probably can use
SKB_GSO_UDP6 here and try to fix it in tun_put_user() if a legacy userspace
 is detected.

There is a slight problem with this. This will force fragmentation of IPv6 traffic between VMs since UFO6 wouldn't be enabled on a destination device. So, suddenly older VMs will see a performance regression for large UDPv6 traffic.


With this code, a legacy VM will continue to receive large UDPv6 traffic. New VMs will have an updated virtio-net which will reset the gso type on input.

I get the point and that's why you still want ipv6 offload helpers to
accept SKB_GSO_UDP. So SKB_GSO_UDP was still ambigious since it can be a
UDP6 packet in fact.

I'm not sure, but probably we could just leave the regression of legacy
guest as is and fix current kernel. The sooner we eliminate the ambigious
the better for future development.


  				ipv6_proxy_select_ident(skb);
Question still for vlan, is network header correctly set here? Looks like
 ipv6_proxy_select_ident() depends on correct network header to work.

Yes, you are right...  I wonder how that worked.  I'll re-test.

Thanks
