Subject: [PATCH] igc: fix tunnel offloading

Checking tunnel offloading, it turns out that offloading doesn't work as expected. The following script allows to reproduce the issue. Call it as `testscript DEVICE LOCALIP REMOTEIP NETMASK'

=== SNIP ===
if [ $# -ne 4 ]
then
echo "Usage $0 DEVICE LOCALIP REMOTEIP NETMASK"
exit 1
fi
DEVICE="$1"
LOCAL_ADDRESS="$2"
REMOTE_ADDRESS="$3"
NWMASK="$4"
echo "Driver: $(ethtool -i ${DEVICE} | awk '/^driver:/{print $2}') " ethtool -k "${DEVICE}" | grep tx-udp
echo
echo "Set up NIC and tunnel..."
ip addr add "${LOCAL_ADDRESS}/${NWMASK}" dev "${DEVICE}" ip link set "${DEVICE}" up
sleep 2
ip link add vxlan1 type vxlan id 42 \

		   remote "${REMOTE_ADDRESS}" \
		   local "${LOCAL_ADDRESS}" \
		   dstport 0 \
		   dev "${DEVICE}"

ip addr add fc00::1/64 dev vxlan1
ip link set vxlan1 up
sleep 2
rm -f vxlan.pcap
echo "Running tcpdump and iperf3..."
( nohup tcpdump -i any -w vxlan.pcap >/dev/null 2>&1 ) & sleep 2
iperf3 -c fc00::2 >/dev/null
pkill tcpdump
echo
echo -n "Max. Paket Size: "
tcpdump -r vxlan.pcap -nnle 2>/dev/null \

| grep "${LOCAL_ADDRESS}.*> ${REMOTE_ADDRESS}.*OTV" \
| awk '{print $8}' | awk -F ':' '{print $1}' \
| sort -n | tail -1

echo
ip link del vxlan1
ip addr del ${LOCAL_ADDRESS}/${NWMASK} dev "${DEVICE}" === SNAP ===

The expected outcome is

Max. Paket Size: 64904

This is what you see on igb, the code igc has been taken from. However, on igc the output is

Max. Paket Size: 1516

so the GSO aggregate packets are segmented by the kernel before calling igc_xmit_frame. Inside the subsequent call to igc_tso, the check for skb_is_gso(skb) fails and the function returns prematurely.

It turns out that this occurs because the feature flags aren't set entirely correctly in igc_probe. In contrast to the original code from igb_probe, igc_probe neglects to set the flags required to allow tunnel offloading.

Setting the same flags as igb fixes the issue on igc.
