[PATCH v7 0/2] virtio-net: define UDP tunnel offload

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>]

UDP tunnel usage is ubiquitous in container deployment, and the ability
to offload UDP encapsulated GSO traffic impacts greatly the performances
and the CPU utilization of such use cases.

This series introduces separate features to handle both UDP tunnel 
segmentation offload (patch 1) and UDP tunnel outer checksum offload
(patch 2).

Changes from v6:
- replaced inner_protocol_type with
  VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_IPV{4,6}
- many clarifications and cleanup, see the individual patches changelog
  for the details

Changes from v5:
- split in 2 patches
- dropped outer_mh_offset field
- many csum related clarification

  virtio-net: define UDP tunnel segmentation offload feature
  virtio-net: define UDP tunnel checksum offload feature
