    gro: more generic L2 header check · 5ca3b72c
    Eric Dumazet authored
    Shlomo Pongratz reported GRO L2 header check was suited for Ethernet
    only, and failed on IB/ipoib traffic.
    
    He provided a patch faking a zeroed header to let GRO aggregates frames.
    
    Roland Dreier, Herbert Xu, and others suggested we change GRO L2 header
    check to be more generic, ie not assuming L2 header is 14 bytes, but
    taking into account hard_header_len.
    
    __napi_gro_receive() has special handling for the common case (Ethernet)
    to avoid a memcmp() call and use an inline optimized function instead.
