This method is used to properly allow kernel callers of the IPv4 route management ioctls. The exsting ip_tunnel_ioctl helper is renamed to ip_tunnel_ctl to better reflect that it doesn't directly implement ioctls touching user memory, and is used for the guts of ndo_tunnel_ctl implementations. A new ip_tunnel_ioctl helper is added that can be wired up directly to the ndo_do_ioctl method and takes care of the copy to and from userspace.

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.
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.
