This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed- bionic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This prevents enablement and usage of HW offloads, such as TSO and checksumming for MPLS tagged traffic when running via VLAN or bonding interface. The patches introduce changes to the initialization steps of the VLAN and bonding netdevices to inherit the MPLS features from lower netdevices to allow the HW offloads. == Fix == * 5dc9520bf04a ("net/mlx5e: Report netdevice MPLS features") * 8b6912a50193 ("net: vlan: Inherit MPLS features from parent device") * 2e770b507ccd ("net: bonding: Inherit MPLS features from slave devices") * e4683f35f8e5 ("net/mlx5e: Move to HW checksumming advertising") The first two patches can be cherry-picked into Disco, and the rest will require some context adjustment. == Test == Test kernels can be found here: https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1851446-MPLS-0407/ Kernel tested with positive test result and approved by their QA. == Regression Potential == Low, changes just for adding MPLS feature and comes with positive test result. == Original Bug Report == Mellanox is requesting a backport of the following commit IDs from 5.3 back to 4.15.
