    net: loopback: enable BIG TCP packets · d6f938ce

    Set the driver limit to GSO_MAX_SIZE (512 KB).
    
    This allows the admin/user to set a GSO limit up to this value.
    
    Tested:
    
    ip link set dev lo gso_max_size 200000
    netperf -H ::1 -t TCP_RR -l 100 -- -r 80000,80000 &
    
    tcpdump shows :
