ERSPAN shares most of the code path with GRE and gretap code. While that
helps keep the code compact, it is also error prone. Currently a broken
userspace can turn a gretap tunnel into a de facto ERSPAN one by passing
IFLA_GRE_ERSPAN_VER. There has been a similar issue in ip6gretap in the
past.
To prevent these problems in future, split the newlink and changelink code
paths. Split the ERSPAN code out of ipgre_netlink_parms() into a new
function erspan_netlink_parms(). Extract a piece of common logic from
ipgre_newlink() and ipgre_changelink() into ipgre_newlink_encap_setup().
Add erspan_newlink() and erspan_changelink().

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
