Subject: [PATCH 0/2] GRE: segmentation offload

Following patch adds segmentation offload to GRE. I did performance
tests with netperf single TCP_STREAM tests, results are as follows
for GRE TAP device on 10G.

base kernel: 4043  10^6bits/sec
with patch:  4801  10^6bits/sec (+18.7)

This patch also address concerns that were raised in GRE csum discussion
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/214665/). It avoids large skb allocation
in xmit path and improves performance as shown.

Pravin B Shelar (2):
  net: Add skb_unclone() helper function.
  GRE: Add segmentation offload for GRE
