One thing that this will do though: previously, if
ethtool disables offloads, then an application enables
them, the application will have the last say.
With this patch, the most conservative approach wins.
Right?
If we want to have the existing behaviour
I think the following would do this (untested). What do you think?


diff --git a/drivers/net/tun.c b/drivers/net/tun.c
