Hi folks,

When sending arbitrary SKBs with udp_tunnel_xmit_skb, the networking
stack does not appear to be utilizing UFO on the outgoing UDP packets,
which significantly caps the transmission speed. I see about 50% CPU
usage in this send path, triggered for every single outgoing packet.
Is there a particular skb option I need to set to enable this? I read
Tom's patch [1] from last year, but this seems to be about setting the
inner packet type. In my case, the inner type is opaque encrypted
data, so there's not a relevant setting.

Thanks,
Jason
