commit e131a5634830047923c694b4ce0c3b31745ff01b upstream.
gro_cells lib is used by different encapsulating netdevices, such as geneve, macsec, vxlan etc. to speed up decapsulated traffic processing. CPU tag is a sort of "encapsulation", and we can use the same mechs to greatly improve overall DSA performance. skbs are passed to the GRO layer after removing CPU tags, so we don't need any new packet offload types as it was firstly proposed by me in the first GRO-over-DSA variant [1].
The size of struct gro_cells is sizeof(void *), so hot struct dsa_slave_priv becomes only 4/8 bytes bigger, and all critical fields remain in one 32-byte cacheline. The other positive side effect is that drivers for network devices that can be shipped as CPU ports of DSA-driven switches can now use napi_gro_frags() to pass skbs to kernel. Packets built that way are completely non-linear and are likely being dropped without GRO.
This was tested on to-be-mainlined-soon Ethernet driver that uses napi_gro_frags(), and the overall performance was on par with the variant from [1], sometimes even better due to minimal overhead. net.core.gro_normal_batch tuning may help to push it to the limit on particular setups and platforms.
