[PATCH net-next-2.6 0/5] Add support for software UDP fragmentation offload(UFO)

[PATCH net-next-2.6 0/5] Add support for software UDP fragmentation offload(UFO)

[Sridhar Samudrala]

The following set of patches fixes support for UDP fragmentation offload
in the core networking stack to send/receive large UDP packets over UFO
enabled devices and fallback to software UFO when the outgoing device 
doesn't support UFO.
These patches enable setting UFO on virtio-net and tap devices and allow
large UDP packets to be sent between guest to host and inter guest under
KVM.

[PATCH net-next-2.6 1/5] udpv4: Handle large incoming UDP/IPv4 packets and support software UFO.
[PATCH net-next-2.6 2/5] udpv6: Fix HW checksum support for outgoing UFO packets
[PATCH net-next-2.6 3/5] udpv6: Fix gso_size setting in ip6_ufo_append_data
[PATCH net-next-2.6 4/5] udpv6: Remove unused skb argument of ipv6_select_ident()
[PATCH net-next-2.6 5/5] udpv6: Handle large incoming UDP/IPv6 packets and support software UFO

Thanks
Sridhar
