This is due to check sum handling issue in the vmxnet3 driver. Fix is on 
the kernel tree. 
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-
stable.git/commit/drivers/net/vmxnet3?
id=f0d437809d23999cb25207cfbe80c61e5703fdc1

I have tested the fix and confirmed to resolve the performance issue with 
LRO. 

Thanks
Ram
