Thank you Nicolas,

I cleaned up some fuzz and whitespace around the "activation_mode" field
in src/parse.h but other than that the patch looks like I wanted it to
be (wrt. ABI compatibility).

I've uploaded it to Jammy. Let's see how that works out wrt.
autopkgtests. If everything is good and fixed in devel we can continue
to push this down into the stable series.


Could you please improve the [Test Case] section in the SRU template a bit, I think in the current form it's most probably not being accepted by the SRU team... Yes, this is a new feature, so maybe create a test-case like: create /etc/netplan/test.yaml with content XYZ – run 'netplan generate' – verify the new offloading configuration has been generated in /run/systemd/network/* & /run/NetworkManager/system-connections/*

In addition to adding the full autopkgtest logs (once it is accepted
into -proposed), as described here:

Bug description:
  Impact]

   * On virtualization hosts disable GRO and LRO, otherwise, with
     receive offload on, the guests will receive packets that are
     larger than the MTU. This can cause issues in certain scenarios, 
     e.g. when the guest is a VPN server that needs to forward the
     (inner) packet onward.

  [Test Plan]

   * The feature does not exist right now.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * The settings exist since systemd-232 which means Bionic and up can use
     this feature

  [Original Description]

  https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.link.html has
  a number of [Link] options which I need to use for a flaky network
  card (TCPSegmentationOffload, TCP6SegmentationOffload,
  GenericSegmentationOffload, GenericReceiveOffload,
  LargeReceiveOffload) which are not exposed via netplan.
