Bug Description

== Comment: #0 - Breno Leitao <email address hidden> - 2018-01-12 07:01:25 ==
Hi Canonical,

We've been looking at an adapter from Mellanox and we need to do some kernel config changes.

This adapter is essentially an ethernet adapter with accelerators , capable of doing some interesting network offloads, such as offload of IPsec. There was some kernel support that went upstream fairly recently that is needed to support it.

 The kernel config options are:

CONFIG_XFRM_OFFLOAD
CONFIG_INET_ESP_OFFLOAD
CONFIG_INET6_ESP_OFFLOAD
CONFIG_MLX5_ACCEL
CONFIG_MLX5_EN_IPSEC

These options are all enabled already in our 4.14 and 4.15 trees. All are =y except CONFIG_INET_ESP_OFFLOAD and CONFIG_INET6_ESP_OFFLOAD which are configured as modules.
