GSO tunneled packets are always segmented in software before they are transmitted by a VLAN, even when the lower device can offload tunnel encapsulation and VLAN together (i.e., some bits in NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL mask are set in the lower device 'vlan_features'). If we let VLANs have the same tunnel offload capabilities as their lower device, throughput can improve significantly when CPU is limited on the transmitter side. - set NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL bits in the VLAN 'hw_features', to ensure that 'features' will have those bits zeroed only when the lower device has no hardware support for tunnel encapsulation. - for the same reason, copy GSO-related bits of 'hw_enc_features' from lower device to VLAN, and ensure to update that value when the lower device changes its features. - set NETIF_F_HW_CSUM bit in the VLAN 'hw_enc_features' if 'real_dev' is able to compute checksums at least for a kind of packets, like done with commit 8403debe ("vlan: Keep NETIF_F_HW_CSUM similar to other software devices"). This avoids software segmentation due to mismatching checksum capabilities between VLAN's 'features' and 'hw_enc_features'.
