The commit fe80536acf ("bareudp: Added attribute to enable & disable
rx metadata collection") breaks the the original(5.7) default behavior of
bareudp module to collect RX metadadata at the receive. It was added to
avoid the crash at the kernel neighbour subsytem when packet with metadata
from bareudp is processed. But it is no more needed as the
commit 394de110a7 ("net: Added pointer check for
dst->ops->neigh_lookup in dst_neigh_lookup_skb") solves this crash.

Special handling is needed in bareudp module for IP & MPLS as they
support more than one ethertypes.
MPLS has 2 ethertypes. 0x8847 for MPLS unicast and 0x8848 for MPLS multicast.
While decapsulating MPLS packet from UDP packet the tunnel destination IP
address is checked to determine the ethertype. The ethertype of the packet
will be set to 0x8848 if the tunnel destination IP address is a multicast
IP address. The ethertype of the packet will be set to 0x8847 if the
tunnel destination IP address is a unicast IP address.
IP has 2 ethertypes.0x0800 for IPV4 and 0x86dd for IPv6. The version
field of the IP header tunnelled will be checked to determine the ethertype.
This special handling to tunnel additional ethertypes will be disabled
by default and can be enabled using a flag called multiproto. This flag can
be used only with ethertypes 0x8847 and 0x0800.

The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation
tunnelling module for tunnelling different protocols like MPLS,
IP,NSH etc inside a UDP tunnel.
