The problem is that tun is not aware of the features negotiated in the guest -> host direction. The current status (for baremetal/plain offload) is allowing any known feature the other side send - if the virtio header is consistent. This code follows a similar schema. Note that using 'tun->set_features' instead of 'vnet_hdr_sz' the tun driver will drop all the (legit) GSO over UDP packet sent by the guest when the VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_UDP_TUNNEL_GSO has been negotiated and VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_UDP_TUNNEL_GSO has not.This explanation makes sense. In that case I suggest: - creating a new function named tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_get() and - passing vnet_hdr_sz to tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_to_skb() tun_vnet.h contains the virtio-related logic for better code organization and reuse with tap.c. tap.c can reuse the conditionals on vnet_hdr_sz when tap.c gains the UDP tunneling support.
Instead of repeating the test twice (in both tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_to_skb() and tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_to_skb(), what about creating a new helper: tun_vnet_hdr_guest_features(unsigned int vnet_hdr_len) encapsulating the above logic? That will make also easier to move to the 'correct' solution of having the tun/tap devices aware of the features negotiated in the guest -> host direction. /P
