====================
* Summary of Changes:
This patchset adds a new xfrm mode implementing on-demand IP-TFS. IP-TFS
(AggFrag encapsulation) has been standardized in RFC9347.
Link: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9347.txt
This feature supports demand driven (i.e., non-constant send rate)
IP-TFS to take advantage of the AGGFRAG ESP payload encapsulation. This
payload type supports aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP
packet stream which in turn yields higher small-packet bandwidth as well
as reducing MTU/PMTU issues. Congestion control is unimplementated as
the send rate is demand driven rather than constant.
In order to allow loading this fucntionality as a module a set of
callbacks xfrm_mode_cbs has been added to xfrm as well.
Patchset Structure:
-------------------
The first 5 commits are changes to the net and xfrm infrastructure to
support the callbacks as well as more generic IP-TFS additions that
may be used outside the actual IP-TFS implementation.
- xfrm: config: add CONFIG_XFRM_IPTFS
- include: uapi: protocol number and packet structs for AGGFRAG in ESP
- xfrm: netlink: add config (netlink) options
- xfrm: add mode_cbs module functionality
- xfrm: add generic iptfs defines and functionality
The last 10 commits constitute the IP-TFS implementation constructed in
layers to make review easier. The first 9 commits all apply to a single
file `net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c`, the last commit adds a new tracepoint
header file along with the use of these new tracepoint calls.
- xfrm: iptfs: add new iptfs xfrm mode impl
- xfrm: iptfs: add user packet (tunnel ingress) handling
- xfrm: iptfs: share page fragments of inner packets
- xfrm: iptfs: add fragmenting of larger than MTU user packets
- xfrm: iptfs: add basic receive packet (tunnel egress) handling
- xfrm: iptfs: handle received fragmented inner packets
- xfrm: iptfs: add reusing received skb for the tunnel egress packet
- xfrm: iptfs: add skb-fragment sharing code
- xfrm: iptfs: handle reordering of received packets
- xfrm: iptfs: add tracepoint functionality
