Currently vlan devices don't have GRO by default as none of the Ethernet
drivers add NETIF_F_GRO to their vlan_features.

As GRO is a software feature just propogate GRO from the real_dev in the
vlan core. There is no need to have the drivers each add NETIF_F_GRO to
their vlan_features.

Hmm, this is only part of a generic solution.

If I enable gro with "ethtool -K eth0 gro on", should we propagate GRO
on vlan eth0.555 ?

I think a better way to implement this is to set NETIF_F_GRO in
netdev->vlan_features at register_netdev() time if it is set in
netdev->features

That is the implementation I was implying earlier in this thread.

We can even add it unconditionally there, since we only ever use
dev->features & dev->vlan_features.

That works fine as far as I can see. I don't think it should go the
other way though.
