[ Upstream commit 46b699c50c0304cdbd725d7740073a7f9d5edb10 ]
The driver was avoiding offload for IPIP (at least) frames due to
parsing the inner header offsets incorrectly when trying to check
lengths.
This length check works for VXLAN frames but fails on IPIP frames
because skb_transport_offset points to the inner header in IPIP
frames, which meant the subtraction of transport_header from
inner_network_header returns a negative value (-20).
With the code before this patch, everything continued to work, but GSO
was being used to segment, causing throughputs of 1.5Gb/s per thread.
After this patch, throughput is more like 10Gb/s per thread for IPIP
traffic.

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.
