Bug #12731
disable IPv6 LSO until emulation is available
Added by Patrick Mooney 10 months ago.

Description
Prior to the integration of #12676, we should disable advertisement of IPv6 TSO/LSO. This is because no emulation is available for the MAC loopback path, so if a mac client which doesn't support IPv6 LSO, TSOv6 frames which arrive there would violate its invariants.
Once we have working soft TSOv6, this capability can be advertised to MAC consumers again.
Ryan built this on top of #12676 (which spurred the need for it) to test and observed TSOv6 as properly disabled on capable hardware:
PASS [test_lso_ip4_primary<i40e0>]
FAIL [test_lso_ip6_primary<i40e0>]: i40e0 sent no packets greater than MTU
- Status changed from New to Closed
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
