Subject: [net-next PATCH 0/8] Fix Tunnel features and enable GSO partial for
 Mellanox adapters

This patch series is meant to allow us to get the best performance possible
for Mellanox ConnectX-3/4 adapters in terms of VXLAN tunnels.

The first few patches address issues I found when just trying to collect
performance numbers.  Specifically I was unable to get rates of any more
than 1 or 2 Mb/s if I was using a tunnel that ran over IPv6.  In addition I
found a few other items related to GSO_PARTIAL and the TSO_MANGLEID that
needed to be addressed.

The last 4 patches go through and enable GSO_PARTIAL for tunnels that have
an outer checksum enabled, and then enable IPv6 support where we can.  In
my tests I found that the mlx4 doesn't support outer IPv6 but the mlx5 did
so the code is updated to reflect that in the patches that enable IPv6
support.

Alexander Duyck (8):
      net: Disable segmentation if checksumming is not supported
      gso: Only allow GSO_PARTIAL if we can checksum the inner protocol
      net: Fix netdev_fix_features so that TSO_MANGLEID is only available with TSO
      vxlan: Add checksum check to the features check function
      mlx4: Add support for UDP tunnel segmentation with outer checksum offload
      mlx4: Add support for inner IPv6 checksum offloads and TSO
      mlx5e: Add support for UDP tunnel segmentation with outer checksum offload
      mlx5e: Fix IPv6 tunnel checksum offload
