      gso: Update tunnel segmentation to support Tx checksum offload · cdbaa0bb
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      This change makes it so that the GRE and VXLAN tunnels can make use of Tx
      checksum offload support provided by some drivers via the hw_enc_features.
      Without this fix enabling GSO means sacrificing Tx checksum offload and
      this actually leads to a performance regression as shown below:
      
                  Utilization
                  Send
      Throughput  local         GSO
      10^6bits/s  % S           state
        6276.51   8.39          enabled
        7123.52   8.42          disabled
      
      To resolve this it was necessary to address two items.  First
      netif_skb_features needed to be updated so that it would correctly handle
      the Trans Ether Bridging protocol without impacting the need to check for
      Q-in-Q tagging.  To do this it was necessary to update harmonize_features
      so that it used skb_network_protocol instead of just using the outer
      protocol.
      
      Second it was necessary to update the GRE and UDP tunnel segmentation
      offloads so that they would reset the encapsulation bit and inner header
      offsets after the offload was complete.
      
      As a result of this change I have seen the following results on a interface
      with Tx checksum enabled for encapsulated frames:
      
                  Utilization
                  Send
      Throughput  local         GSO
      10^6bits/s  % S           state
        7123.52   8.42          disabled
        8321.75   5.43          enabled
      
      v2: Instead of replacing refrence to skb->protocol with
          skb_network_protocol just replace the protocol reference in
          harmonize_features to allow for double VLAN tag checks.
