Tunnel devices provide no dev->netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc(...) interface. The tunnel device and route control plane does not provide an obvious way to relate tunnel and physical devices. This patch allows drivers to register a tunnel device offload handler for the tc and netfilter frontends through flow_indr_dev_register() and flow_indr_dev_unregister(). The frontend calls flow_indr_dev_setup_offload() that iterates over the list of drivers that are offering tunnel device hardware offload support and it sets up the flow block for this tunnel device. If the driver module is removed, the indirect flow_block ends up with a stale callback reference. The module removal path triggers the dev_shutdown() path to remove the qdisc and the flow_blocks for the physical devices. However, this is not useful for tunnel devices, where relation between the physical and the tunnel device is not explicit. This patch introduces a cleanup callback that is invoked when the driver module is removed to clean up the tunnel device flow_block. This patch defines struct flow_block_indr and it uses it from flow_block_cb to store the information that front-end requires to perform the flow_block_cb cleanup on module removal.
