net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here, so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be trusted for performance-critical cases anyway. For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets. SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment need to push inner and outer headers to every segment. New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO always fall backs to software GSO.

net: Restore NETIF_F_* bit ordering. Commit 8ad227ff89a7 ("net: vlan: add 802.1ad support") added some new NETIF_F_* features bits, but it added them in the middle of existing values. Userland depends upon the flag bits via the per-netdevice 'flags' sysfs file. So restore the previous ordering by adding the new flags at the end.

net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devices Add a operations structure that allows a network interface to export the fact that it supports package forwarding in hardware between physical interfaces and other mac layer devices assigned to it (such as macvlans). This operaions structure can be used by virtual mac devices to bypass software switching so that forwarding can be done in hardware more efficiently.

netdev: introduce new NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag for switch device offloads This is a high level feature flag for all switch asic offloads switch drivers set this flag on switch ports. Logical devices like bridge, bonds, vxlans can inherit this flag from their slaves/ports. The patch also adds the flag to NETIF_F_ONE_FOR_ALL, so that it gets propagated to the upperdevices (bridges and bonds).

net: Define enum for net device features. Define feature values by bit position instead of direct 2**i values and force the values to be of type netdev_features_t.

net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here, so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be trusted for performance-critical cases anyway. For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
