A bit more than I suspected, thanks for the data.
Maybe we do some investigation to find out why the performace lost is more than suspected first.
I don’t think holding this patch to investigate why it takes longer in GRO is worthwhile. That is a separate issue. UPT patches are already upstreamed to Linux and cross-ported to relevant distros for customers to use. We need to apply this patch to avoid the performance degradation in UPT mode as LRO is not available on UPT device.
I don’t see a functional issue with this patch. In UPT as LRO is not available, it needs to use GRO.
Thanks, Ronak
