Turn udp_tunnel_nic work-queue to an ordered work-queue. This queue holds the UDP-tunnel configuration commands of the different netdevs. When the netdevs are functions of the same NIC the order of execution may be crucial. Problem example: NIC with 2 PFs, both PFs declare offload quota of up to 3 UDP-ports. $ifconfig eth2 1.1.1.1/16 up $ip link add eth2_19503 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.2 dev eth2 dstport 19053 $ip link set dev eth2_19503 up $ip link add eth2_19504 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.3 dev eth2 dstport 19054 $ip link set dev eth2_19504 up $ip link add eth2_19505 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.4 dev eth2 dstport 19055 $ip link set dev eth2_19505 up $ip link add eth2_19506 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.5 dev eth2 dstport 19056 $ip link set dev eth2_19506 up NIC RX port offload infrastructure offloads the first 3 UDP-ports (on all devices which sets NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT feature) and not UDP-port 19056. So both PFs gets this offload configuration. $ip link set dev eth2_19504 down This triggers udp-tunnel-core to remove the UDP-port 19504 from offload-ports-list and offload UDP-port 19056 instead. In this scenario it is important that the UDP-port of 19504 will be removed from both PFs before trying to add UDP-port 19056. The NIC can stop offloading a UDP-port only when all references are removed. Otherwise the NIC may report exceeding of the offload quota.
