Connections in backup server should inherit the
forwarding method from real server. It is a way to fix a
problem where the forwarding method in backup connection
is damaged by logical OR operation with the real server's
connection flags. And the change is needed for setups
where the backup server uses different forwarding method
for the same real servers.

This patch deals with local client processing.
Prefer LOCAL_OUT hook for scheduling connections from
local clients. LOCAL_IN is still supported if the packets are
not marked as processed in LOCAL_OUT. The idea to process
requests in LOCAL_OUT is to alter conntrack reply before
it is confirmed at POST_ROUTING. If the local requests are
processed in LOCAL_IN the conntrack can not be updated
and matching by state is impossible.
Add the following handlers:
- ip_vs_reply[46] at LOCAL_IN:99 to process replies from
remote real servers to local clients. Now when both
replies from remote real servers (ip_vs_reply*) and
local real servers (ip_vs_local_reply*) are handled
it is safe to remove the conn_out_get call from ip_vs_in
because it does not support related ICMP packets.
- ip_vs_local_request[46] at LOCAL_OUT:-98 to process
requests from local client
Handling in LOCAL_OUT causes some changes:
- as skb->dev, skb->protocol and skb->pkt_type are not defined
in LOCAL_OUT make sure we set skb->dev before calling icmpv6_send,
prefer skb_dst(skb) for struct net and remove the skb->protocol
checks from TUN transmitters.

This patch deals with local real servers:
- Add support for DNAT to local address (different real server port).
It needs ip_vs_out hook in LOCAL_OUT for both families because
skb->protocol is not set for locally generated packets and can not
be used to set 'af'.
- Skip packets in ip_vs_in marked with skb->ipvs_property because
ip_vs_out processing can be executed in LOCAL_OUT but we still
have the conn_out_get check in ip_vs_in.
- Ignore packets with inet->nodefrag from local stack
- Require skb_dst(skb) != NULL because we use it to get struct net
- Add support for changing the route to local IPv4 stack after DNAT
depending on the source address type. Local client sets output
route and the remote client sets input route. It looks like
IPv6 does not need such rerouting because the replies use
addresses from initial incoming header, not from skb route.
- All transmitters now have strict checks for the destination
address type: redirect from non-local address to local real
server requires NAT method, local address can not be used as
source address when talking to remote real server.
- Now LOCALNODE is not set explicitly as forwarding
method in real server to allow the connections to provide
correct forwarding method to the backup server. Not sure if
this breaks tools that expect to see 'Local' real server type.
If needed, this can be supported with new flag IP_VS_DEST_F_LOCAL.
Now it should be possible connections in backup that lost
their fwmark information during sync to be forwarded properly
to their daddr, even if it is local address in the backup server.
By this way backup could be used as real server for DR or TUN,
for NAT there are some restrictions because tuple collisions
in conntracks can create problems for the traffic.
- Call ip_vs_dst_reset when destination is updated in case
some real server IP type is changed between local and remote.

This patch is needed to avoid scheduling of
packets from local real server when we add ip_vs_in
in LOCAL_OUT hook to support local client.
Currently, when ip_vs_in can not find existing
connection it tries to create new one by calling ip_vs_schedule.
The default indication from ip_vs_schedule was if
connection was scheduled to real server. If real server is
not available we try to use the bypass forwarding method
or to send ICMP error. But in some cases we do not want to use
the bypass feature. So, add flag 'ignored' to indicate if
the scheduler ignores this packet.
Make sure we do not create new connections from replies.
We can hit this problem for persistent services and local real
server when ip_vs_in is added to LOCAL_OUT hook to handle
local clients.
Also, make sure ip_vs_schedule ignores SYN packets
for Active FTP DATA from local real server. The FTP DATA
connection should be created on SYN+ACK from client to assign
correct connection daddr.

Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is
different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.
This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.
There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb. There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances. However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.
