I have one comment to mention that from application perspective, it has
to take care that the driver does not support outer tunnel offload (this
matches the advertised capabilities). For instance, in case of a vxlan
tunnel, if the outer checksum needs to be calculated, it has to be done
by the application. In short, the application can ask to offload the
inner part if no offload is required on the outer part.

Also, since grep "PKT_TX_TUNNEL" in driver/net/ixgbe gives nothing, it
seems the ixgbe driver does not support the same offload request than
described in this patch:
  (m->ol_flags & PKT_TX_TUNNEL_MASK) == PKT_TX_TUNNEL_XXXXX
  m->outer_l2_len = outer l2 length
  m->outer_l3_len = outer l3 length
  m->l2_len = outer l4 length + tunnel len + inner l2 len
  m->l3_len = inner l3 len
  m->l4_len = inner l4 len

An alternative for doing the same (that would work with ixgbe and
current virtio) is to give:
  (m->ol_flags & PKT_TX_TUNNEL_MASK) == 0
  m->l2_len = outer lengths + tunnel len + inner l2 len
  m->l3_len = inner l3 len
  m->l4_len = inner l4 len

I think a capability may be missing to differentiate which drivers
support which mode. Or, all drivers could be fixed to support both modes
(and this would make this patch valid).

Thanks,
Olivier
