Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] virtio-net: enable NETIF_F_GRO_HW only if GRO-related offloads are supported
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:21:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316072152.910857-1-zhud@hygon.cn> (raw)
Although VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS is negotiated, which indicates
the device supports dynamic control of guest offloads, it does not
necessarily mean the device supports specific hardware GRO features.
If none of the features defined in GUEST_OFFLOAD_GRO_HW_MASK (such as
TSO4, TSO6, or UFO) are present in vi->guest_offloads_capable, the
device effectively lacks the hardware capability to perform GRO.
So, making NETIF_F_GRO_HW conditional on these feature bits ensures the
stack does not enable an unsupported hardware offload configuration.
Fixes: a02e8964eaf9 ("virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO")
