This patch adds support for driver level TSO in the enetc driver using the TSO API. Beside using the usual tso_build_hdr(), tso_build_data() this specific implementation also has to compute the checksum, both IP and L4, for each resulted segment. This is because the ENETC controller does not support Tx checksum offload which is needed in order to take advantage of TSO. With the workaround for the ENETC MDIO erratum in place the Tx path of the driver is forced to lock/unlock for each skb sent. This is why, even though we are computing the checksum by hand we see the following improvement in TCP termination on the LS1028A SoC, on a single A72 core running at 1.3GHz: before: 1.63 Gbits/sec after: 2.34 Gbits/sec Signed-off-by: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
