It looks to me kernel doesn't use "USO", so TUN_F_UDP_GSO_L4 is a better
name for this
No problem, I can change it in v2

  and I guess we should toggle NETIF_F_UDP_GSO_l4 here?

No, we do not, because this indicates only the fact that the guest can
send large UDP packets and have them splitted to UDP segments.


Actually the reverse. The set_offload() controls the tuntap TX path (guest RX path).

When VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_XXX was not negotiated, the corresponding netdev features needs to be disabled. When host tries to send those packets to guest, it needs to do software segmentation.

See virtio_net_apply_guest_offloads().

There's currently no way (or not need) to prevent tuntap from receiving GSO packets.

Thanks



And how about macvtap?
We will check how to do that for macvtap. We will send a separate
patch for macvtap or ask for advice.

Thanks
