Subject: net: pktgen: disable xmit_clone on virtual devices
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 52d6c8c6ca125872459054daa70f2f1c698c8e75 ]
Trying to use burst capability (aka xmit_more) on a virtual device
like bonding is not supported.
For example, skb might be queued multiple times on a qdisc, with
various list corruptions.
Fixes: 38b2cf2982dc ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
