net: introduce netdevice gso_min_segs attribute Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet). This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC performance. Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
