rps: Inspect GRE encapsulated packets to get flow hash
Crack open GRE packets in __skb_get_rxhash to compute 4-tuple hash on in encapsulated packet. Note that this is used only when the __skb_get_rxhash is taken, in particular only when the device does not compute provide the rxhash (ie. feature is disabled). This was tested by creating a single GRE tunnel between two 16 core AMD machines. 200 netperf TCP_RR streams were ran with 1 byte request and response size. Without patch: 157497 tps, 50/90/99% latencies 1250/1292/1364 usecs With patch: 325896 tps, 50/90/99% latencies 603/848/1169 Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
