Subject: [RFC net] net: force software segmentation of PPPoE packets
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 22:30:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020143031.1829-1-qingfang.deng@linux.dev> (raw)

Ordinary TSO does not update the PPPoE payload length. A PPPoE GRO packet
forwarded by a bridge can retain hardware GSO features and reach the
driver without software segmentation, if the egress Ethernet interface
advertises TSO.

To force software segmentation, clear the GSO feature mask for
ETH_P_PPP_SES in harmonize_features().

Fixes: 55a5d8fca836 ("net: pppoe: implement GRO/GSO support")
