Today when gso packets reach dev_forward_skb through the macvlan driver
we drop them on the floor because they exceed the device mtu.  Ouch!

I don't undersand the subtelties of gso but I think it is sufficient to
simply relax the checks and let gso packets through without an mtu
check, and it works in my test case.

If needed we can split the gso packets into multiple packets here but
that just seems like a wast of memory and time.

Hmm, did you follow http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/86815/
discussion ?

No.  It seems I missed it, but I do have the same problem, and
essentially the same fix.

Can someone work on getting this straightened out and resubmit the
final patch so I can apply something?

Thanks.

Apparently Daniel is busy.

I guess we can use Eric B. patch, then ?

That sounds good to me.

After reviewing the other thread to the best of my knowledge there are
no issues with the patch I submitted.  At worst I am 4 bytes extra
permissive about the mtu because of the way that path handles vlan
headers and that isn't something my patch changed.
