But it is a bug. When offloaded, the rules must not behave differently. That's the fundamental thing about offloading. Here, the rules behave differently when offloaded and when not. That's a bug. > take a look on the design there and maybe > tell us how to possibly do that otherwise? I don't know the design. It's the responsibility of those who implement the offloading to do it in the way that it's consistent with the software path. That has always been the case. This needs to be fixed. If it can't be fixed, the feature needs to be reverted. It's not that Linux has to make use of every single offload supported by hardware. If the offloading cannot be fit into how Linux works, then the offload can't be supported. There are in fact many precedents. Jiri
