Add support for using IPv6 Big TCP on DQ which can handle large TSO/GRO packets. See https://lwn.net/Articles/895398/. This can improve the throughput and CPU usage. Perf test result: ip -d link show $DEV gso_max_size 185000 gso_max_segs 65535 tso_max_size 262143 tso_max_segs 65535 gro_max_size 185000 For performance, tested with neper using 9k MTU on hardware that supports 200Gb/s line rate. In single streams when line rate is not saturated, we expect throughput improvements. When the networking is performing at line rate, we expect cpu usage improvements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
