[ Upstream commit 62ebaeaedee7591c257543d040677a60e35c7aec ]
After LRO/GRO is applied, SRv6 encapsulated packets have
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 feature flag, and this flag must be removed right after
decapulation procedure.
Currently, SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 flag is not removed on End.D* actions, which
creates inconsistent packet state, that is, a normal TCP/IP packets
have the SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 flag. This behavior can cause unexpected
fallback to GSO on routing to netdevices that do not support
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6. For example, on inter-VRF forwarding, decapsulated
packets separated into small packets by GSO because VRF devices do not
support TSO for packets with SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 flag, and this degrades
forwarding performance.
This patch removes encapsulation related GSO flags from the skb right
after the End.D* action is applied.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
