Title:
Backport MPLS patches from 5.3 to 4.15
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Bug description:
Mellanox is requesting a backport of the following commit IDs from 5.3
back to 4.15.
Netdevice HW MPLS features are not passed from device driver's
netdevice to upper netdevice, specifically VLAN and bonding netdevice
which are created by the kernel when needed.
This prevents enablement and usage of HW offloads, such as TSO and
checksumming for MPLS tagged traffic when running via VLAN or bonding
interface.
The patches introduce changes to the initialization steps of the VLAN and
bonding netdevices to inherit the MPLS features from lower netdevices to
allow the HW offloads.

net: bonding: Inherit MPLS features from slave devices
net: vlan: Inherit MPLS features from parent device
