I think we need three separate patches.
- disable guest offloads if VQ is absent
- remove LRO from hw_features if guest offloads are absent
This should fix the ethtool path. But there is a separate path to
disable LRO through dev_disable_lro (from bond enslave, xdp install,
sysctl -n net.ipv.ip_forward=1, ..) that assumes LRO is always
configurable. So we cannot work around needing a patch to
virtset_set_features.
After a long detour, I think your original submission is fine for
that.
Perhaps with a comment in the commit that it is needed even
if the feature is absent from hw_features for dev_disable_lro.
