The ovpn_netdev_write() function is responsible for injecting
decapsulated and decrypted packets back into the local network stack.
Prior to this patch, the skb could retain GSO metadata from the outer,
encrypted tunnel packet. This original GSO metadata, relevant to the
sender's transport context, becomes invalid and misleading for the
tunnel/data path once the inner packet is exposed.
Leaving this stale metadata intact causes internal GSO validation checks
further down the kernel's network stack (validate_xmit_skb()) to fail,
leading to packet drops. The reasons for these failures vary by
protocol, for example:
- for ICMP, no offload handler is registered;
- for TCP and UDP, the respective offload handlers return errors when
comparing skb->len to the outdated skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size.
By calling skb_gso_reset(skb) we ensure the inner packet is presented to
gro_cells_receive() with a clean state, correctly indicating it is an
individual packet from the perspective of the local stack.
This change eliminates the "Driver has suspect GRO implementation, TCP
performance may be compromised" warning and improves overall TCP
performance by allowing GSO/GRO to function as intended on the
decapsulated traffic.

Modules linked in: ovpn(O)
This happens because the peer deletion operation reaches
ovpn_socket_release() while ovpn_sock->sock (struct socket *)
and its sk member (struct sock *) are still both valid.
Here synchronize_rcu() is invoked, after which ovpn_sock->sock->sk
becomes NULL, due to the concurrent socket closing triggered
from userspace.
After having invoked synchronize_rcu(), ovpn_socket_release() will
attempt dereferencing ovpn_sock->sock->sk, triggering the crash
reported above.
The reason for accessing sk is that we need to retrieve its
protocol and continue the cleanup routine accordingly.
This crash can be easily produced by running openvpn userspace in
client mode with `--keepalive 10 20`, while entirely omitting this
option on the server side.
After 20 seconds ovpn will assume the peer (server) to be dead,
will start removing it and will notify userspace. The latter will
receive the notification and close the transport socket, thus
triggering the crash.
To fix the race condition for good, we need to refactor struct ovpn_socket.
Since ovpn is always only interested in the sock->sk member (struct sock *)
we can directly hold a reference to it, raher than accessing it via
its struct socket container.
This means changing "struct socket *ovpn_socket->sock" to
"struct sock *ovpn_socket->sk".
While acquiring a reference to sk, we can increase its refcounter
without affecting the socket close()/destroy() notification
(which we rely on when userspace closes a socket we are using).
By increasing sk's refcounter we know we can dereference it
in ovpn_socket_release() without incurring in any race condition
anymore.
ovpn_socket_release() will ultimately decrease the reference
counter.

ndo_start_xmit is basically expected to always return NETDEV_TX_OK.
However, in case of error, it was currently returning NET_XMIT_DROP,
which is not a valid netdev_tx_t return value, leading to
misinterpretation.
Change ndo_start_xmit to always return NETDEV_TX_OK to signal back
to the caller that the packet was handled (even if dropped).
Effects of this bug can be seen when sending IPv6 packets having
no peer to forward them to:
$ ip netns exec ovpn-server oping -c20 fd00:abcd:220:201::1
PING fd00:abcd:220:201::1 (fd00:abcd:220:201::1) 56 bytes of data.00:abcd:220:201 :1

When routing a packet to a LAN behind a peer, ovpn needs to
inspect the route entry that brought the packet there in the
first place.
If this packet is truly routable, the route entry provides the
GW to be used when looking up the VPN peer to send the packet to.
However, the route entry is currently dropped before entering
the ovpn xmit function, because the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE priv_flag
is enabled by default.
Clear the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag during interface setup to allow
the route entry (skb's dst) to survive and thus be inspected
by the ovpn routing logic.

IV wrap-around is cryptographically dangerous for a number of ciphers,
therefore kill the key and inform userspace (via netlink) should the
IV space go exhausted.
Userspace has two ways of deciding when the key has to be renewed before
exhausting the IV space:
1) time based approach:
after X seconds/minutes userspace generates a new key and sends it
to the kernel. This is based on guestimate and normally default
timer value works well.
2) packet count based approach:
after X packets/bytes userspace generates a new key and sends it to
the kernel. Userspace keeps track of the amount of traffic by
periodically polling GET_PEER and fetching the VPN/LINK stats.

With this change ovpn is allowed to communicate to peers also via TCP.
Parsing of incoming messages is implemented through the strparser API.
Note that ovpn redefines sk_prot and sk_socket->ops for the TCP socket
used to communicate with the peer.
For this reason it needs to access inet6_stream_ops, which is declared
as extern in the IPv6 module, but it is not fully exported.
Therefore this patch is also adding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(inet6_stream_ops)
to net/ipv6/af_inet6.c.
