[ Upstream commite1f8f78ffe] 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().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
