Hi, Sorry for late reply, I noticed this patch only after it went to Linus' tree. 2010/10/30 Jesse Gross [off-list ref]:

We currently use vlan_features to check for TSO support if there is a vlan tag. However, it's quite likely that the NIC is not able to do TSO when there is an arbitrary number of tags. Therefore if there is more than one tag (in-band or out-of-band), fall back to software emulation.

This clears all features for multiply-tagged frames. At least SG, FRAGLIST and HW_CSUM are perfectly valid for those frames. This doesn't really matter if this function stays used only in netif_needs_gso(). It's name and placement suggests otherwise, though. Best Regards, Michał Mirosław
