The patch adds 'external' option to support collect metadata gre6 tunnel. The 'external' keyword is already used to set the device into collect metadata mode such as vxlan, geneve, ipip, etc. This patch extends support for ipv6 gre and gretap. Example of L3 and L2 gre device: bash:~# ip link add dev ip6gre123 type ip6gre external bash:~# ip link add dev ip6gretap123 type ip6gretap external Signed-off-by: William Tu <u9012063@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> --- change in v4: - rephrase and add excluded options when 'external' is used. change in v3: - explain a little more on man page about 'external' change in v2: - remove "noexternal" in man page --- ip/link_gre6.c | 55 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- man/man8/ip-link.8.in | 17 ++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
