    ipv6: Do not treat a GSO_TCPV4 request from UDP tunnel over IPv6 as invalid · b6fef4c6
    Alexander Duyck authored
    This patch adds SKB_GSO_TCPV4 to the list of supported GSO types handled by
    the IPv6 GSO offloads.  Without this change VXLAN tunnels running over IPv6
    do not currently handle IPv4 TCP TSO requests correctly and end up handing
    the non-segmented frame off to the device.
    
    Below is the before and after for a simple netperf TCP_STREAM test between
    two endpoints tunneling IPv4 over a VXLAN tunnel running on IPv6 on top of
    a 1Gb/s network adapter.
