Subject: [PATCH] [NET 2.6.26]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame
size
Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree.
Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to
unsigned - thanks Stephen!
This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of the
TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the
netdevice's max_gso_frame_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO
frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP layer,
and send TSO's of that size to the hardware.
This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a
per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices coexisting
in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc.
This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB
TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation
offloading.
