commit 68c331631143 ("v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE")
added a possible skb leak, because it frees only the head of segment
list, in case a skb_linearize() call fails.

This patch adds a kfree_skb_list() helper to fix the bug.

Rather than having logic to calculate inner protocol in every
tunnel gso handler move it to gso code. This simplifies code.

For ipv6 traffic, GRE can generate packet with strange GSO
bits, e.g. ipv4 packet with SKB_GSO_TCPV6 flag set. Therefore
following patch relaxes check in inet gso handler to allow
such packet for segmentation.
This patch also fixes wrong skb->protocol set that was done in
gre_gso_segment() handler.

Following patch refactors GRE code into ip tunneling code and GRE
specific code. Common tunneling code is moved to ip_tunnel module.
ip_tunnel module is written as generic library which can be used
by different tunneling implementations.

ip_tunnel module contains following components:
- packet xmit and rcv generic code. xmit flow looks like
(gre_xmit/ipip_xmit)->ip_tunnel_xmit->ip_local_out.
- hash table of all devices.
- lookup for tunnel devices.
- control plane operations like device create, destroy, ioctl, netlink
operations code.
- registration for tunneling modules, like gre, ipip etc.
- define single pcpu_tstats dev->tstats.
- struct tnl_ptk_info added to pass parsed tunnel packet parameters.

ipip.h header is renamed to ip_tunnel.h

we should increase the IP header ID for each segmented packets.
This patch fixes it.

Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

It was suggested by "make versioncheck" that the follwing includes of
linux/version.h are redundant:

/home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/caif_dev.c: 14 linux/version.h not needed.
/home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/chnl_net.c: 10 linux/version.h not needed.
/home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/ipv4/gre.c: 19 linux/version.h not needed.
/home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c: 20 linux/version.h not needed.
/home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/xt_set.c: 16 linux/version.h not needed.

and it seems that it is right.

Beyond manually inspecting the source files I also did a few build
tests with various configs to confirm that including the header in
those files is indeed not needed.

Here's a patch to remove the pointless includes.

00959ade36acadc00e757f87060bf6e4501d545f 22-Aug-2010 Dmitry Kozlov <xeb@mail.ru> PPTP: PPP over IPv4 (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework
NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria
(required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists)
NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module

This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which
dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in
comparison of existing user-space implementation
(poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/) to utilize this module,
it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified
pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS.

There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are:
1. using rcu instead of read-write locks
2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated
3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages
4. fixed many coding style issues
