Jason Wang da92ce3645 virtio-net: use NETIF_F_GRO_HW instead of NETIF_F_LRO 
[ Upstream commit dbcf24d153 ]

Commit a02e8964ea ("virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO")
maps LRO to virtio guest offloading features and allows the
administrator to enable and disable those features via ethtool.

This leads to several issues:

- For a device that doesn't support control guest offloads, the "LRO"
  can't be disabled triggering WARN in dev_disable_lro() when turning
  off LRO or when enabling forwarding bridging etc.

- For a device that supports control guest offloads, the guest
  offloads are disabled in cases of bridging, forwarding etc slowing
  down the traffic.

Fix this by using NETIF_F_GRO_HW instead. Though the spec does not
guarantee packets to be re-segmented as the original ones,
we can add that to the spec, possibly with a flag for devices to
differentiate between GRO and LRO.

Further, we never advertised LRO historically before a02e8964ea
("virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO") and so bridged/forwarded
configs effectively always relied on virtio receive offloads behaving
like GRO - thus even if this breaks any configs it is at least not
a regression.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
