Implement generic segmentation offload support for udp datagrams. A follow-up patch adds support to the protocol stack to generate such packets. UDP GSO is not UFO. UFO fragments a single large datagram. GSO splits a large payload into a number of discrete UDP datagrams. The implementation adds a GSO type SKB_UDP_GSO_L4 to differentiate it from UFO (SKB_UDP_GSO). IPPROTO_UDPLITE is excluded, as that protocol has no gso handler registered.

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.
