    net: Add GRO support for UDP encapsulating protocols · b582ef09
    Or Gerlitz authored
    Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of
    being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to
    the same TCP session.
    
    For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type
    field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header.
    
    The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination
    port is registered to have gro handler.
    
    Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive
    code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose
    inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.
