That seems like a reasonable idea to me -- the standard thing to do when
a NIC offload conflicts with something else is to turn off the offload
and fall back to software.

But as Herbert says, we can make LRO such that turning it off
isn't necessary.

Can we shape the iSCSI offload traffic without turning it off?

With Chelsio's product you can do this. Maybe Divy can provide details?
