GSO tunneled packets are always segmented in software before they are
transmitted by a VLAN, even when the lower device can offload tunnel
encapsulation and VLAN together (i.e., some bits in NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL
mask are set in the lower device 'vlan_features'). If we let VLANs have
the same tunnel offload capabilities as their lower device, throughput
can improve significantly when CPU is limited on the transmitter side.
- set NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL bits in the VLAN 'hw_features', to ensure
that 'features' will have those bits zeroed only when the lower device
has no hardware support for tunnel encapsulation.
- for the same reason, copy GSO-related bits of 'hw_enc_features' from
lower device to VLAN, and ensure to update that value when the lower
device changes its features.
- set NETIF_F_HW_CSUM bit in the VLAN 'hw_enc_features' if 'real_dev'
is able to compute checksums at least for a kind of packets, like done

README
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.
