GSO should not merge page pool recycled frames with standard reference
counted frames. Traditionally this didn't occur, at least not often.
However as we start looking at adding support for wireless adapters there
becomes the potential to mix the two due to A-MSDU repartitioning frames in
the receive path. There are possibly other places where this may have
occurred however I suspect they must be few and far between as we have not
seen this issue until now.

Jaroslav reported a recent throughput regression with virtio_net
caused by blamed commit.

It is unclear if DODGY GSO packets coming from user space
can be accepted by GRO engine in the future with minimal
changes, and if there is any expected gain from it.

In the meantime, make sure to detect and flush DODGY packets.

We can remove a conditional test in gro_list_prepare()
by comparing vlan_all fields of the two skbs.

Notes:

While comparing the vlan_proto is not strictly needed,
because part of the following compare_ether_header() call,
using 32bit word is actually faster than using 16bit values.

napi_reuse_skb() makes sure to clear skb-&gt;vlan_all,
as it already calls __vlan_hwaccel_clear_tag()

Current GRO stack only supports incoming packets containing
one frame/MSS.

This patch changes GRO to accept packets that are already GRO.

HW-GRO (aka RSC for some vendors) is very often limited in presence
of interleaved packets. Linux SW GRO stack can complete the job
and provide larger GRO packets, thus reducing rate of ACK packets
and cpu overhead.

This also means BIG TCP can still be used, even if HW-GRO/RSC was
able to cook ~64 KB GRO packets.

v2: fix logic in tcp_gro_receive()

    Only support TCP for the moment (Paolo)

Allow the gro_max_size to exceed a value larger than 65536.

There weren't really any external limitations that prevented this other
than the fact that IPv4 only supports a 16 bit length field. Since we have
the option of adding a hop-by-hop header for IPv6 we can allow IPv6 to
exceed this value and for IPv4 and non-TCP flows we can cap things at 65536
via a constant rather than relying on gro_max_size.

[edumazet] limit GRO_MAX_SIZE to (8 * 65535) to avoid overflows.

<id>23c7f8d7989e1646aac82f75761b7648c355cb8a</id>
<content type='text'>
The esp tunnel GSO handlers use skb_mac_gso_segment to
push the inner packet to the segmentation handlers.
However, skb_mac_gso_segment takes the Ethernet Protocol
ID from 'skb-&gt;protocol' which is wrong for inter address
family tunnels. We fix this by introducing a new
skb_eth_gso_segment function.

This function can be used if it is necessary to pass the
Ethernet Protocol ID directly to the segmentation handler.
First users of this function will be the esp4 and esp6
tunnel segmentation handlers.

While inspecting some perf report, I noticed that the compiler
emits suboptimal code for the napi CB initialization, fetching
and storing multiple times the memory for flags bitfield.
This is with gcc 10.3.1, but I observed the same with older compiler
versions.

We can help the compiler to do a nicer work clearing several
fields at once using an u32 alias. The generated code is quite
smaller, with the same number of conditional.

Before:
objdump -t net/core/gro.o | grep " F .text"
0000000000000bb0 l     F .text	0000000000000357 dev_gro_receive

After:
0000000000000bb0 l     F .text	000000000000033c dev_gro_receive

v1  -&gt; v2:
 - use struct_group (Alexander and Alex)

RFC -&gt; v1:
 - use __struct_group to delimit the zeroed area (Alexander)
