[PATCH v2 net 1/2] drivers/net: Disable UFO through virtio

IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no
fragmentation ID in the fixed header.  UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to
be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio
net protocol.

Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new
ID, but this was a bug.  Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet
passed through a tap, which is even worse.

Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6
features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we
have a proper solution.

We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so
keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do
this.

The program is absolutely right; therefore, the computer must be wrong.

Could do.  I'm trying to make small fixes that are suitable for stable.

That's missing a "%s: ", but yes that would also work.

Looks wrong, at least ufo6 depends check this bit in ip6_output.c

Yes.

There's only one hardware driver that implements UFO (s2io), and it does
handle IPv6.

Since the corresponding virtio feature bit is understood to include
UFO/IPv6, and existing VMs rely on that, I don't see what this solves.

Ben.
