This commit extends the set of netdevice features supported by macsec devices when offload is enabled, which increases performance significantly (for a single TCP stream: 17.5Gbps to 38.5Gbps on my test machines). Commitc850240b6c("net: macsec: report real_dev features when HW offloading is enabled") previously attempted something similar, but had to be reverted (commit8bcd560ae8("Revert "net: macsec: report real_dev features when HW offloading is enabled"")) because the set of features it exposed was too large. During initialization, all features are set, and they're then removed via ndo_fix_features (macsec_fix_features). This allows the offloadable features to be automatically enabled if offloading is turned on after device creation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
