I am trying to attach an XDP BPF byte object to my interface in a Virtualbox vm. But I encountered these error message:

Error: virtio_net: Can't set XDP while host is implementing GRO_HW/CSUM, disable GRO_HW/CSUM first

My Vm's NIC: my vm's NIC

I'd run the following commands on the vm and also on my host machine:

sudo ethtool -K wlp2s0 rx off tx off tso off gso off

In the host, there was no error. But in the vm, the rx-checksum won't get turned off and it will show this:

Actual Changes:
rx-checksum: on [requested off]

Wasn't changing for the host enough? That's what the first error message seems to imply. – pchaigno Mar 22 '23 at 18:07
No that doesn't work – legends_never_die Mar 25 '23 at 13:43
Then, I don't think you have many options. You can try a newer guest kernel (maybe it's now possible to disable that) or you can switch to a different driver. – pchaigno Mar 25 '23 at 18:13
