From b0ce3508b25ea6fa10ae3ca254de1d695b521702 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 07:34:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: allow TSO being set on bonding master MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In some situations, we need to disable TSO on bonding slaves. bonding device automatically unset TSO in bond_fix_features(), and performance is not good because : 1) We consume more cpu cycles. 2) GSO segmentation has some bugs leading to out of order TCP packets if this segmentation is done before virtual device. This particular problem will be addressed in a separate patch. This patch allows TSO being set/unset on the bonding master, so that GSO segmentation is done after bonding layer.
