[IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is: This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from "dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction. This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6 will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO. In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't get TSO packets created by TCP layer. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet. SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature. UFO is supported over IPv6 also The following table shows there is significant improvement in throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo. -------------------------------------------------- | | 1500 | 9600 | | ------------------|-------------------| | | thru CPU | thru CPU | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO OFF | 2.00 5.5% id | 5.66 20.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO ON | 2.63 78.0 id | 5.67 39.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
