Subject: s390/qeth: fix GSO throughput regression
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc3
Git-commit: 6d69b1f1eb7a2edf8a3547f361c61f2538e054bb
References: bsc#1061024 FATE#323301

Using GSO with small MTUs currently results in a substantial throughput
regression - which is caused by how qeth needs to map non-linear skbs
into its IO buffer elements:
compared to a linear skb, each GSO-segmented skb effectively consumes
twice as many buffer elements (ie two instead of one) due to the
additional header-only part. This causes the Output Queue to be
congested with low-utilized IO buffers.

Fix this as follows:
If the MSS is low enough so that a non-SG GSO segmentation produces
order-0 skbs (currently ~3500 byte), opt out from NETIF_F_SG. This is
where we anticipate the biggest savings, since an SG-enabled
GSO segmentation produces skbs that always consume at least two
buffer elements.

Larger MSS values continue to get a SG-enabled GSO segmentation, since
1) the relative overhead of the additional header-only buffer element
becomes less noticeable, and
2) the linearization overhead increases.

With the throughput regression fixed, re-enable NETIF_F_SG by default to
reap the significant CPU savings of GSO.
