Commit a02e8964eaf92 ("virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO") tries to
advertise LRO on behalf of the guest offloading features and allow the
administrator to enable and disable those features via ethtool.
This may lead several issues:
- For the device that doesn't support control guest offloads, the
"LRO" can't be disabled so we will get a warn in the
dev_disable_lro()
- For the device that have the control guest offloads, the guest
offloads were disabled in the case of bridge etc which may slow down
the traffic.
Try to fix this by using NETIF_F_GRO_HW instead so we're not
guaranteed to be re-segmented as original. Or we may want a new netdev
feature like RX_GSO since the guest offloads for virtio-net is
actually to receive GSO packet.
Or we can try not advertise LRO is control guest offloads is not
enabled. This solves the warning but will still slow down the traffic.
