    net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device · e2a6b852
    Herbert Xu authored
    As it stands users of netdev_compute_features (e.g., bridges/bonding)
    will only enable TSO if all consituent devices support it.  This
    is unnecessarily pessimistic since even on devices that do not
    support hardware TSO and SG, emulated TSO still performs to a par
    with TSO off.
    
    This patch enables TSO if at least on constituent device supports
    it in hardware.
    
    The direct beneficiaries will be virtualisation that uses bridging
    since this means that TSO will always be enabled for communication
    from the host to the guests.
