Partial generic segmentation offload is a hybrid between TSO and GSO. What is effectively does is take advantage of certain traits of TCP and tunnels so that instead of having to rewrite the packet headers for each segment only in the inner-most transport header and possible the outer-most network header need to be updated. This allows devices that do not support tunnel offload or tunnels offloads with checksum to still make use of segmentation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
