+ UDP GSO hardware offload
+ ---------------------------------
+ UDP GSO allows to boost UDP tx rates by offloading UDP headers allocation
+ into hardware. A special userspace socket option is required for this,
+ could be validated with /kernel/tools/testing/selftests/net/
+
+ udpgso_bench_tx -u -4 -D 10.0.1.1 -s 6300 -S 100
+
+ Will cause sending out of 100 byte sized UDP packets formed from single
+ 6300 bytes user buffer.
+
+ UDP GSO is configured by:
+
+ ethtool -K eth0 tx-udp-segmentation on
+
+ Private flags (testing)
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Atlantic driver supports private flags for hardware custom features:
+
+ $ ethtool --show-priv-flags ethX
+
+ Private flags for ethX:
+ DMASystemLoopback : off
+ PKTSystemLoopback : off
+ DMANetworkLoopback : off
+ PHYInternalLoopback: off
+ PHYExternalLoopback: off
+
+ Example:
+
+ $ ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX DMASystemLoopback on
+
+ DMASystemLoopback: DMA Host loopback.
+ PKTSystemLoopback: Packet buffer host loopback.
+ DMANetworkLoopback: Network side loopback on DMA block.
+ PHYInternalLoopback: Internal loopback on Phy.
+ PHYExternalLoopback: External loopback on Phy (with loopback ethernet cable).
