    net: gso: use feature flag argument in all protocol gso handlers · 1e16aa3d
    Florian Westphal authored
    skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features
    available to the output path.
    
    A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use
    those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels.
    
    Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can
    then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits,
    as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation.
    
    This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs
    that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work
    when device supports corresponding hw offload capabilities.
