Egress TCP packets' skb->len often exceed liquidio's advertised gso_max_size. This may happen on other NIC drivers. Fix it by assigning lowerdev's gso_max_size to that of vxlan dev. Might as well do likewise for gso_max_segs. Single flow TSO throughput of liquidio as lowerdev (using iperf3): Before the patch: 139 Mbps After the patch : 8.68 Gbps Percent increase: 6,144 % Signed-off-by: Felix Manlunas Signed-off-by: Satanand Burla Signed-off-by: David S.
