Why LRO is disabled by default in mlx4_en driver?

Hello,

 

run into this problem - why the mlx4_en driver does not enable LRO by default? Is there any reason for it? It takes some time to figure it out. Especially strange is that performance tuning guide does not talk much about it. Enabling LRO got my single flow TCP performance up by 50% to 30gbps.

 

[root@igmp-tester mlx4]# ethtool -i p2p1

driver: mlx4_en

version: 2.2-1.0.1 (Jul 20 2014)

firmware-version: 2.31.5050

supports-test: yes

[root@igmp-tester mlx4]# ethtool -k p2p1
