Thank you all. I got it. Generally naming in kernel is very precise but in
this case I feel it is little confusing. Thank you again.

After reading LDD and LKD, I feel ready to start some actual kernel
hacking. Therefore I wanted to ask you what environm

Developing on virtual machine(you can try VirtualBox) is the best

Hi,
I have few basic question regarding headroom and tailroom in skb.
1. At time of skb allocation sk->sk_prot->max_header value is 272 .
If we add tcp header+ip header+mac header outcome will always less
than 272 .Then why allocate more ? Is it for future case ?
2. Why space left in headroom
Hi,
I have basic question about gso(generic segmentation offload) vs
tso(TCP segmentation offload)
1. How both are different to each other?
2. If both are ON using ethtool which one is perform segmentation gso or tso ?
Regards

TSO is a hardware feature whereas GSO is a software feature.
In the sense, TSO needs "the device" to break the frame into MTU sized segments.
BUT, GSO is a strategy followed by kernel to avoid processing smaller
packets throughout the stack.
Refer this:

If both are ON then which one works tso or gso ?
