[ Upstream commit 8bcd560ae8784da57c610d857118c5d6576b1a8f ]
This reverts commit c850240b6c4132574a00f2da439277ab94265b66.
That commit tried to improve the performance of macsec offload by
taking advantage of some of the NIC's features, but in doing so, broke
macsec offload when the lower device supports both macsec and ipsec
offload, as the ipsec offload feature flags (mainly NETIF_F_HW_ESP)
were copied from the real device. Since the macsec device doesn't
provide xdo_* ops, the XFRM core rejects the registration of the new
macsec device in xfrm_api_check.
Example perf trace when running
ip link add link eni1np1 type macsec port 4 offload mac
ip 737 [003] 795.477676: probe:xfrm_dev_event__REGISTER name="macsec0" features=0x1c000080014869
xfrm_dev_event+0x3a
notifier_call_chain+0x47
register_netdevice+0x846
macsec_newlink+0x25a
ip 737 [003] 795.477687: probe:xfrm_dev_event__return ret=0x8002 (NOTIFY_BAD)
notifier_call_chain+0x47
register_netdevice+0x846
macsec_newlink+0x25a
dev->features includes NETIF_F_HW_ESP (0x04000000000000), so
xfrm_api_check returns NOTIFY_BAD because we don't have
dev->xfrmdev_ops on the macsec device.
We could probably propagate GSO and a few other features from the
lower device, similar to macvlan. This will be done in a future patch.

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.
