[PATCH] vhost: fix external buffer in VDUSE

Tue Oct 28 13:34:53 CET 2025
extbuf and linearbuf features are required for (enhanced) TSO support
in OVS.
VDUSE ports were generating multi-segments mbufs in case of "TSO"
buffers which resulted in OVS generating wrong packets after tunnel
encapsulation.
Enable the missing datapath features.
Fixes: 0adb8eccc6a6 ("vhost: add VDUSE device creation and destruction")
