====================
udp: implement GRO support
This series implements GRO support for UDP sockets, as the RX counterpart
of commit bec1f6f69736 ("udp: generate gso with UDP_SEGMENT").
The core functionality is implemented by the second patch, introducing a new
sockopt to enable UDP_GRO, while patch 3 implements support for passing the
segment size to the user space via a new cmsg.
UDP GRO performs a socket lookup for each ingress packets and aggregate datagram
directed to UDP GRO enabled sockets with constant l4 tuple.
UDP GRO packets can land on non GRO-enabled sockets, e.g. due to iptables NAT
rules, and that could potentially confuse existing applications.
The solution adopted here is to de-segment the GRO packet before enqueuing
as needed. Since we must cope with packet reinsertion after de-segmentation,
the relevant code is factored-out in ipv4 and ipv6 specific helpers and exposed
to UDP usage.
While the current code can probably be improved, this safeguard ,implemented in
the patches 4-7, allows future enachements to enable UDP GSO offload on more
virtual devices eventually even on forwarded packets.
The last 4 for patches implement some performance and functional self-tests,
re-using the existing udpgso infrastructure. The problematic scenario described
above is explicitly tested.
This revision of the series try to address the feedback provided by Willem and
Subash on previous iteration.
