Yes, why not, I am only wondering why loopback / dummy (and others ?)
only set NETIF_F_TSO :)
Since I want to play with ECN, I might also add NETIF_F_TSO_ECN ;)
For other flags, I really doubt it can matter on ifb ?
[PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] ifb: add performance flags
IFB can use the full set of features flags (NETIF_F_SG |
NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) to
avoid unnecessary split of some packets (GRO for example)
Changli suggested to also set vlan_features, NETIF_F_TSO6,
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.
Jarek suggested to add NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX as well.
