Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/2] net: bonding, dummy, ifb, team: advertise NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE

Virtual netdevs should use NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE to forward GSO skbs
as-is and let the final drivers deal with them when supported.
Also remove NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 from bonding and team drivers as it's
now included in the "software" list.

The rationale is that it is okay to advertise these features with
software fallback as bonding/teaming "hardware" features, because
there will always be a downstream device for which they will be
implemented, possibly in the software fallback, correct?

That does not apply to dummy or IFB. I guess dummy is fine, because
xmit is a black hole, and IFB because ingress can safely handle these
packets? How did you arrive at the choice of changing these two, of
all virtual devices?

Hi!
Thanks for the Ack.

Two points:
1. Exactly, dummy is just dummy, while ifb is an intermediate netdev to
share resources, so it should be as fine as with other virtual devs.
2. They both advertise NETIF_F_ALL_TSO | NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL, which
assumes that they handle all GSO skbs just like the others (pass
them as is to the real drivers in case with ifb).

There is no real driver in the case of ifb if it forwards to the
ingress path. But as discussed before, that can handle gso packets for
all these protocols, too.
