From e8c37aff2a392c31fefa62ec045058a0877c45a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Kravkov Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 17:43:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: fix L2-GRE TCP issues When configuring GRE tunnel using OVS, tcp stream is distributed over all RSS queues which may cause TCP reordering. It happens since OVS uses L2GRE protocol when kernel gre uses IPGRE. Patch defaults gre tunnel to L2GRE which allows proper RSS for L2GRE packets and (implicitly) disables RSS for IPGRE traffic.
