            Bug ID: 219129
           Summary: virtio net performance degradation between Windows and
                    Linux guest in kernel 6.10.3
           Product: Virtualization
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: kvm
          Assignee: virtualization_kvm@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: anton.wd@gmail.com
        Regression: No

After kernel upgrade from 6.10.2 to 6.10.3 network performance has become very
low between Windows and Linux guest.

Steps to reproduce:
MTU 9000 for all adapters and bridge (Jumbo frame 9014 in Windows)
KVM host, qemu 9.0.2, bridge (e.g. br0)
Linux guest, virtio net adapter bridged to host br0, address e.g. 192.168.0.1
Windows 11 guest, virtio net adapter, bridged to host br0, address e.g.
192.168.0.2

When accessing Linux guest from Windows 11 and if kvm host OR Linux guest has
kernel version 6.10.3 then network performance is poor.

iperf3 for example:

$ iperf3.exe --client 192.168.0.1
Connecting to host 192.168.0.1, port 5201
[  5] local 192.168.0.2 port 49849 connected to 192.168.0.1 port 5201

[  5]   0.00-10.02  sec   384 KBytes   314 Kbits/sec                  receiver

iperf Done.


If kvm host AND Linux guest has kernel version 6.10.2 then performance seems ok

iperf Done.

The following entries appear in the kernel logs on Linux guest:
[  157.294081] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  157.294298] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  157.623938] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  157.938094] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  158.249957] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  158.593349] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  158.909346] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  159.236646] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  159.236721] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960
[  159.236745] enp3s0: bad gso: type: 1, size: 8960

This is also reproduced for bare metal Windows 11 PC with bridged physical
network adapter to br0 on kvm host.
