From f6a78bfcb141f963187464bac838d46a81c3882a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 02:57:17 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Add generic segmentation offload This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload. The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just before the entry point into the NIC driver. The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
