    "content": "With the support of UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) and TCP Segmentation\nOffload (TSO) in virtio, VMs can exchange large UDP and TCP packets\nexceeding MTU between each other, which can greatly reduce per-packet\nprocessing overheads.\n\nWhen the destination of the large TCP and UDP packets is crossing\nmachines, the host application needs to call two different libraries,\nGSO and IP fragmentation, to split the large packets respectively.\nHowever,the GSO and IP fragmentation library have quite different APIs,\nwhich greatly complicates the host application implementation.\n\nTo simplify application development, we propose to support UDP/IPv4\nfragmentation in the GSO library. With supporting UDP GSO, host\napplicationss can use the unified APIs to split large UDP and TCP packets.\n\nThis patchset is to support UDP/IPv4 GSO. The first patch is to provide\nUDP GSO function, the second patch is to enable UDP/IPv4 GSO in the\ntestpmd checksum forwarding engine, and the last patch is to update the\nprogrammer guide and testpmd user guide.\n\nChange log\n==========\nV2:\n- fix fragment offset calculation bug.\n- add UDP GSO description in testpmd user guide.\n- shorten the second patch name.\n\nJiayu Hu (3):\n  gso: support UDP/IPv4 fragmentation\n  app/testpmd: enable UDP GSO in csum engine\n  gso: update documents for UDP/IPv4 GSO\n\n app/test-pmd/cmdline.c                             |  5 +-\n app/test-pmd/csumonly.c                            |  2 +\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.c                             |  2 +-\n .../generic_segmentation_offload_lib.rst           |  6 ++\n doc/guides/testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs.rst        |  6 ++\n lib/librte_gso/Makefile                            |  1 +\n lib/librte_gso/gso_common.h                        |  3 +\n lib/librte_gso/gso_udp4.c                          | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++++\n lib/librte_gso/gso_udp4.h                          | 42 +++++++++++\n lib/librte_gso/rte_gso.c                           | 24 +++++--\n lib/librte_gso/rte_gso.h                           |  6 +-\n 11 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_gso/gso_udp4.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_gso/gso_udp4.h"
