Currently, vmxnet3 uses GRO callback only if LRO is disabled. However, on smartNic based setups where UPT is supported, LRO can be enabled from guest VM but UPT devicve does not support LRO as of now. In such cases, there can be performance degradation as GRO is not being done. This patch fixes this issue by calling GRO API when UPT is enabled. We use updateRxProd to determine if UPT mode is active or not. To clarify few things discussed over the thread: The patch is not neglecting any feature bits nor disabling GRO. It uses GRO callback when UPT is active as LRO is not available in UPT. GRO callback cannot be used as default for all cases as it degrades performance for non-UPT cases or for cases when LRO is already done in ESXi.

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.
