Subject: ixgbe: fail to create xfrm offload of IPsec tunnel mode SA
From: Antony Antony <antony@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d785e1fec60179f534fbe8d006c890e5ad186e51 upstream.
Based on talks and indirect references ixgbe IPsec offlod do not
support IPsec tunnel mode offload. It can only support IPsec transport
mode offload. Now explicitly fail when creating non transport mode SA
with offload to avoid false performance expectations.
Fixes: 63a67fe229ea ("ixgbe: add ipsec offload add and remove SA")
