The NETIF_F_GSO flag turns on software GSO which should be on anyway. So that could be why it seems to make no difference. > However, the performance becomes incredible when I use > NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE instead of NETIF_F_GSO. But, when using NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE is actually a collection of bits that lists the protocols for which we support software GSO. The bits themselves are in fact an indication that the hardware supports GSO directly. So by turning them on you're electing to receive GSO packets directly.
