Hello,

A new version, v1.0.20200712, of the backported WireGuard kernel module for
3.10 <= Linux <= 5.5.y has been tagged in the git repository.

== Changes ==

  This release brings parity with the commits Linus released a few hours
  ago into 5.8-rc5.
  
  * receive: account for napi_gro_receive never returning GRO_DROP
  
  The napi_gro_receive function no longer returns GRO_DROP ever, making
  handling GRO_DROP dead code. This commit removes that dead code.
  Further, it's not even clear that device drivers have any business in
  taking action after passing off received packets; that's arguably out of
  their hands.
  
  * compat: rhel 8.3 backported skb_reset_redirect
  
  This works with the latest RHEL 8.3 beta, which isn't yet released,
  and breaks CentOS 8 Stream as a result, but Red Hat is so slow to release
  their kernels to testing that we've got a real issue: we can't support
  Red Hat development efforts internally at the same time as supporting
  CentOS 8 Stream, making the stream project something of bust,
  unfortuantely.
  
  * compat: SUSE 15.1 is the final SUSE we need to support
  
  >=15.2 is in SUSE's kernel now. We'll be dropping 15.1 support in a
  few weeks after people have had time to upgrade.
  
  * device: implement header_ops->parse_protocol for AF_PACKET
  
  WireGuard uses skb->protocol to determine packet type, and bails out if
  it's not set or set to something it's not expecting. For AF_PACKET
  injection, we need to support its call chain of:
  
      packet_sendmsg -> packet_snd -> packet_parse_headers ->
        dev_parse_header_protocol -> parse_protocol
  
  Without a valid parse_protocol, this returns zero, and wireguard then
  rejects the skb. So, this wires up the ip_tunnel handler for layer 3
  packets for that case.
  
  * queueing: make use of ip_tunnel_parse_protocol
  
  Now that wg_examine_packet_protocol has been added for general
  consumption as ip_tunnel_parse_protocol, it's possible to remove
  wg_examine_packet_protocol and simply use the new
  ip_tunnel_parse_protocol function directly.
  
  * compat: backport ip_tunnel_parse_protocol and ip_tunnel_header_ops
  
  These are required for moving wg_examine_packet_protocol out of
  wireguard and into upstream.
