Description

NDIS added support for USO in Windows 10, 1912: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/ntddndis/ns-ntddndis-_ndis_udp_segmentation_offload and currently there is no support in netvsp for this. We don't have an active request to support it, but this is a gap that should be addressed.

Research direction

Start by reading the netvsp implementation and the linked NDIS UDP Segmentation Offload documentation for the required Windows 10 support. Identify the existing netvsp offload entry points and determine how USO should be represented; done means netvsp supports the NDIS USO capability with appropriate validation and coverage.
