4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 72d24955b44a4039db54a1c252b5031969eeaac3 ] When new veth is created, and GSO values have been configured on one device, clone those values to the peer. For example: # ip link add dev vm1 gso_max_size 65530 type veth peer name vm2 This should create vm1 <--> vm2 with both having GSO maximum size set to 65530.
