Subject: [PATCH net] macvlan: Disable LRO on lowerdev; warn if it's turned back on
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:13:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1329851622.2689.6.camel@bwh-desktop> (raw)

Large Receive Offload (LRO) is only appropriate for packets that are
destined for the host, and should be disabled if received packets may
be forwarded.

Further, macvtap_skb_to_vnet_hdr() will BUG() on a packet received
with LRO (but not GRO).

Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

I'm not really familiar with macvlan so I'm not certain that this should
be applied to all modes.

Ben.

Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.
