vxlan: vxlan dev should inherit lowerdev's gso_max_size
vxlan dev currently ignores lowerdev's gso_max_size, which adversely affects TSO performance of liquidio if it's the lowerdev. Egress TCP packets' skb->len often exceed liquidio's advertised gso_max_size. This may happen on other NIC drivers. Fix it by assigning lowerdev's gso_max_size to that of vxlan dev. Might as well do likewise for gso_max_segs. Single flow TSO throughput of liquidio as lowerdev (using iperf3): Before the patch: 139 Mbps After the patch : 8.68 Gbps Percent increase: 6,144 % Signed-off-by: NFelix Manlunas <felix.manlunas@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: NSatanand Burla <satananda.burla@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
