Subject: virtio-net: drop legacy features in virtio 1 mode
From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f3358507c11999c91abf54744658bccd49b5879c upstream.
Virtio 1.0 spec says VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT and VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO are
legacy-only feature bits. Do not negotiate them in virtio 1 mode. Note
this is a spec violation so we need to backport it to stable/downstream
kernels.
