This patch completely breaks forwarding of GSO packets in a
virtualised environment where we explicitly want to forward
them as is to reduce per-packet overhead.  So if LRO is causing
problems then I suggest we find a better way around that that
does not penalise all forms of GSO.

I assume you mean forwarding via a bridge?

Not necessarily.  For example we could be forwarding in a guest
that's acting as a firewall appliance for other guests.

I think we'll need to add a device attribute for what
you want.

I still don't understand why we can't forward LRO packets.  It
should be no different to forwarding GSO packets if it's properly
constructed.

Cheers,
