Title:
  Low performance when using vlan over VxLan

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  We see a performance issue when running traffic over vlan interface
  that created over VxLAN interface.

  We reach 24 Gbps over the VxLan interface while we reach only 4 Gbps
  over the VLAN interface.  Turned out that GRO isn't supported for VLAN
  over VxLAN.

  The following upstream commits fix this issue.

      vlan: Add GRO support for non hardware accelerated vlan

      Currently packets with non-hardware-accelerated vlan cannot be handled
      by GRO. This causes low performance for 802.1ad and stacked vlan, as their
      vlan tags are currently not stripped by hardware.

      This patch adds GRO support for non-hardware-accelerated vlan and
      improves receive performance of them.

      net: Add Transparent Ethernet Bridging GRO support.

      Currently the only tunnel protocol that supports GRO with encapsulated
      Ethernet is VXLAN. This pulls out the Ethernet code into a proper layer
      so that it can be used by other tunnel protocols such as GRE and Geneve.
