ovpn already advertises software GSO support and segments GSO skbs in its transmit path. However, without checksum offload in the device features, the networking core has to segment GSO packets before they reach ovpn because TCP GSO packets normally carry CHECKSUM_PARTIAL state.
Advertise NETIF_F_HW_CSUM so the stack can pass such packets to ovpn. Complete partial checksums after any GSO segmentation and before submitting packets for encryption, since the inner packet checksum can no longer be fixed after the packet has been encrypted. Also pass the ovpn feature set to skb_gso_segment with GSO capabilities masked out: this forces software segmentation, but still lets the segmenter preserve supported non-GSO properties such as non-linear skb data instead of needlessly linearizing.
