> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v1] ice: fix IPIP and SIT TSO offload
> 
> The driver was avoiding offload for IPIP (at least) frames due to parsing the
> inner header offsets incorrectly when trying to check lengths.
> 
> This length check works for VXLAN frames but fails on IPIP frames because
> skb_transport_offset points to the inner header in IPIP frames, which meant
> the subtraction of transport_header from inner_network_header returns a
> negative value (-20).
> 
> With the code before this patch, everything continued to work, but GSO was
> being used to segment, causing throughputs of 1.5Gb/s per thread.
> After this patch, throughput is more like 10Gb/s per thread for IPIP traffic.
> 
> Fixes: e94d44786693 ("ice: Implement filter sync, NDO operations and bump
> version")

> Testing Hints: test IPIP tunnel and VXLAN tunnel, both should use TSO.
