[PATCH net-next 3/3] net: veth: Set features for MPLS

From: David Ahern <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-17 21:51:08
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

veth does not really transmit packets only moves the skb from one
netdev to another so gso and checksum is not really needed. Add
the features to mpls_features to get the same benefit and performance
with MPLS as without it.
