The patch adds erspan usage description, so 'ip link help erspan'
and 'ip link help ip6erspan' shows the options.

The patch adds support for configuring the erspan v2, for both
ipv4 and ipv6 erspan implementation. Three additional fields
are added: 'erspan_ver' for distinguishing v1 or v2, 'erspan_dir'
for specifying direction of the mirrored traffic, and 'erspan_hwid'
for users to set ERSPAN engine ID within a system.
As for manpage, the ERSPAN descriptions used to be under GRE, IPIP,
SIT Type paragraph. Since IP6GRE/IP6GRETAP also supports ERSPAN,
the patch removes the old one, creates a separate ERSPAN paragrah,
and adds an example.

The patch adds 'external' option to support collect metadata
gre6 tunnel. The 'external' keyword is already used to set the
device into collect metadata mode such as vxlan, geneve, ipip,
etc. This patch extends support for ipv6 gre and gretap.
Example of L3 and L2 gre device:
bash:~# ip link add dev ip6gre123 type ip6gre external
bash:~# ip link add dev ip6gretap123 type ip6gretap external

Looks like a typo: get_u8() returns 0 on success and -1 on error, so the
error checking here was ineffective.

This is an update for 460c03f3f3 ("iplink: double the buffer size also in
iplink_get()"). After update, we will not need to double the buffer size
every time when VFs number increased.
With call like rtnl_talk(&rth, &req.n, NULL, 0), we can simply remove the
length parameter.
With call like rtnl_talk(&rth, nlh, nlh, sizeof(req), I add a new variable
answer to avoid overwrite data in nlh, because it may has more info after
nlh. also this will avoid nlh buffer not enough issue.
We need to free answer after using.

Print the value analogous to flowlabel. While being at it, also break
the overlong lines to not exceed 80 characters boundary.

When trying to change tclass or flowlabel of a GREv6 tunnel which has
the respective value set already, the code accidentally bitwise OR'ed
the old and the new value, leading to unexpected results. Fix this by
clearing the relevant bits of flowinfo variable prior to assigning the
new value.

Take help function in iplink_bridge.c as an example and make other link
types' help functions similar:
* Use a single fprintf() call (if possible).
* Don't state a full command line, just "... type OPTIONS".
* Put every option in it's own line, align options by column.
* List mandatory options first.
link_veth.c is intentionally left untouched because it's 'peer' option
eats all kinds of generic link options and the help text points this out
without duplicating all the options there again.

This big patch was compiled by vimgrepping for memset calls and changing
to C99 initializer if applicable. One notable exception is the
initialization of union bpf_attr in tc/tc_bpf.c: changing it would break
for older gcc versions (at least <=3.4.6).
Calls to memset for struct rtattr pointer fields for parse_rtattr*()
were just dropped since they are not needed.
The changes here allowed the compiler to discover some unused variables,
so get rid of them, too.

There are only three users which require it to be reentrant, the rest is
fine without. Instead, provide a reentrant format_host_r() for users
which need it.

There have been several instances where response from kernel
has overrun the stack buffer from the caller. Avoid future problems
by passing a size argument.
Also drop the unused peer and group arguments to rtnl_talk.
Allow to print particular link type usage by:
ip link help [TYPE]
Currently to print usage for some link type it is needed
to use the following way:
ip link { add | del | set } type TYPE help

When we create a tunnel on top of a link and the link specified
in cmdline doesn't exist, an error message should be shown.
