[PATCH 1/3] virtio-net: Introduce extended RSC feature

From: Yuri Benditovich
Date: Sat Feb 29 2020 - 12:13:13 EST


VIRTIO_NET_F_RSC_EXT feature bit indicates that the device
is able to provide extended RSC information. When the feature
is negotiatede and 'gso_type' field in received packet is not
GSO_NONE, the device reports number of coalesced packets in
'csum_start' field and number of duplicated acks in 'csum_offset'
field and sets VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_RSC_INFO in 'flags' field.
