    MPLS: Use mpls_features to activate software MPLS GSO segmentation · 3b392ddb
    Simon Horman 提交于
    If an MPLS packet requires segmentation then use mpls_features
    to determine if the software implementation should be used.
    
    As no driver advertises MPLS GSO segmentation this will always be
    the case.
    
    I had not noticed that this was necessary before as software MPLS GSO
    segmentation was already being used in my test environment. I believe that
    the reason for that is the skbs in question always had fragments and the
    driver I used does not advertise NETIF_F_FRAGLIST (which seems to be the
    case for most drivers). Thus software segmentation was activated by
    skb_gso_ok().
    
    This introduces the overhead of an extra call to skb_network_protocol()
    in the case where where CONFIG_NET_MPLS_GSO is set and
    skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE.
    
    Thanks to Jesse Gross for prompting me to investigate this.
