Yes, thanks.

Thanks, I added NETIF_F_SG to the VLAN TSO flags and added a
NETIF_F_VLAN_CSUM flag for TX checksums. I didn't change
GSO_SHIFT so far.

    [VLAN]: Propagate selected feature bits to VLAN devices
    
    Propagate feature bits from the NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE notifier. For now
    only TSO is propagated for devices that announce their ability to
    support TSO in combination with VLAN accel by setting the NETIF_F_VLAN_TSO
    flag.
