From 597181622e649b30a4c4d6bec4816d2f8987d25a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gal Pressman Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:49:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: Fix features check of IPv6 traffic [ Upstream commit 2989ad1ec03021ee6d2193c35414f1d970a243de ] The assumption that the next header field contains the transport protocol is wrong for IPv6 packets with extension headers. Instead, we should look the inner-most next header field in the buffer. This will fix TSO offload for tunnels over IPv6 with extension headers. Performance testing: 19.25x improvement, cool! Measuring bandwidth of 16 threads TCP traffic over IPv6 GRE tap.
