Yes, I am studying if the setting of skb->encapsulation = 1 was really
needed in the :

if (tunnel) {
     skb_reset_inner_headers(skb);
     skb->encapsulation = 1;
}

And was planning to rename 'bool tunnel' by 'bool stacked' or
something...

Please note the original performance is not that good, you mentioned 230
Mbps on lxc, while I get more than 5Gb/s on a 10G link.

This should be investigated ...

I think this might be related to commit 6ff50cd55545 ("tcp: gso: do not
generate out of order packets")

I'll investigate this as well, thanks.
