Merge branch 'vxlan-cleanups'
Jiri Benc says: ==================== vxlan: clean up rx path, consolidating extension handling The rx path of VXLAN turned over time into kind of spaghetti code. The rx processing is split between vxlan_udp_encap_recv and vxlan_rcv but in an artificial way: vxlan_rcv is just called at the end of vxlan_udp_encap_recv, continuing the rx processing where vxlan_udp_encap_recv left it. There's no clear border between those two functions. It makes sense to combine those functions into one; this will be actually needed for VXLAN-GPE where we'll need to skip part of the processing which is hard to do with the current code. However, both functions are too long already. This patchset is shortening them, consolidating extension handling that is spread all around together and moving it to separate functions. (Later patchsets will do more consolidation in other parts of the functions with the final goal of merging vxlan_udp_encap_recv and vxlan_rcv.) In process of consolidation of the extension handling, I needed to deal with vni field in a generic way, as its lower 8 bits mean different things for different extensions. While cleaning up the code to strictly distinguish between "vni" and "vni field" (which contains vni plus an additional byte), I also converted the code not to convert endianess back and forth.
