ip6_gre: fix device features for ioctl setup
[ Upstream commit e5a9336adb317db55eb3fe8200856096f3c71109 ] When ip6gre is created using ioctl, its features, such as scatter-gather, GSO and tx-checksumming will be turned off: # ip -f inet6 tunnel add gre6 mode ip6gre remote fd00::1 # ethtool -k gre6 (truncated output) tx-checksumming: off scatter-gather: off tcp-segmentation-offload: off generic-segmentation-offload: off [requested on] But when netlink is used, they will be enabled: # ip link add gre6 type ip6gre remote fd00::1 # ethtool -k gre6 (truncated output) tx-checksumming: on scatter-gather: on tcp-segmentation-offload: on generic-segmentation-offload: on This results in a loss of performance when gre6 is created via ioctl. The issue was found with LTP/gre tests. Fix it by moving the setup of device features to a separate function and invoke it with ndo_init callback because both netlink and ioctl will eventually call it via register_netdevice(): register_netdevice() - ndo_init() callback -> ip6gre_tunnel_init() or ip6gre_tap_init() - ip6gre_tunnel_init_common() - ip6gre_tnl_init_features() The moved code also contains two minor style fixes: * removed needless tab from GRE6_FEATURES on NETIF_F_HIGHDMA line. * fixed the issue reported by checkpatch: "Unnecessary parentheses around 'nt->encap.type == TUNNEL_ENCAP_NONE'" Fixes: ac4eb009e477 ("ip6gre: Add support for basic offloads offloads excluding GSO") Signed-off-by: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
