    net/mlx5e: TX, Add geneve tunnel stateless offload support · e3cfc7e6
    Moshe Shemesh authored
    Currently support only default geneve udp port (6081).
    For the tx side, the HW is assisted by SW parsing, which sets the
    headers offset to offload tunneled LSO and csum. Note that for udp
    tunnels, we don't use special rx offloads, as rss on the outer headers
    is enough, we support checksum complete and GRO takes care of
    aggregation.
    
    Geneve TSO BW and CPU load results (tested using iperf single tcp
    stream).
    In this patch we add TSO support over Geneve, so the "before" result
    doesn't actually get to using the TSO HW offload even when turned on.
    Tested on ConnectX-5, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v2 @2.20GHz.
