[PATCH 4.9 089/241] vxlan: vxlan dev should inherit lowerdevs gso_max_size

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Felix Manlunas <felix.manlunas@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit d6acfeb17d030bb3907e77c048b0e7783ad8e5a9 ]

vxlan dev currently ignores lowerdev's gso_max_size, which adversely
affects TSO performance of liquidio if it's the lowerdev.  Egress TCP
packets' skb->len often exceed liquidio's advertised gso_max_size.  This
may happen on other NIC drivers.

Fix it by assigning lowerdev's gso_max_size to that of vxlan dev.  Might as
well do likewise for gso_max_segs.

Single flow TSO throughput of liquidio as lowerdev (using iperf3):

    Before the patch:    139 Mbps
    After the patch :   8.68 Gbps
    Percent increase:  6,144 %
