SubjectRe: [PATCH net 2/2] vmxnet3: use correct flag to indicate LRO feature
From

> 'Commit 45dac1d6ea04 ("vmxnet3: Changes for vmxnet3 adapter version 2
> (fwd)")' introduced a flag "lro" in structure vmxnet3_adapter which is
> used to indicate whether LRO is enabled or not. However, the patch
> did not set the flag and hence it was never exercised.
>
> So, when LRO is enabled, it resulted in poor TCP performance due to
> delayed acks. This issue is seen with packets which are larger than
> the mss getting a delayed ack rather than an immediate ack, thus
> resulting in high latency.
>
> This patch removes the lro flag and directly uses device features
> against NETIF_F_LRO to check if lro is enabled.
