Macvlan always turns on offload features that have sofware fallback (NETIF_GSO_SOFTWARE). This allows much higher guest-guest communications over macvtap. However, macvtap does not turn on these features for vlan tagged traffic. As a result, depending on the HW that mactap is configured on, the performance of guest-guest communication over a vlan is very inconsistent. If the HW supports TSO/UFO over vlans, then the performance will be fine. If not, the the performance will suffer greatly since the VM may continue using TSO/UFO, and will force the host segment the traffic and possibly overlow the macvtap queue. This patch adds the always on offloads to vlan_features. This makes sure that any vlan tagged traffic between 2 guest will not be segmented needlessly.
