It's the scheduling layer and really shouldn't care about what features the device supports or not. If someone has an issue with a feature hurting performance or causing odd behavior when using a qdisc, then they should disable the feature on the device using the appropriate tools provided. If it's the qdisc causing issues, then either the qdisc needs to be fixed, or it should be documented what features are recommended to be on and off with the qdisc. I don't agree that the scheduling layer should affect features on an underlying device.
Andi's patch made the TSO capable flag a property of the
qdisc (not the ops), so it could still be explicitly
configured by the user.
