Linux kernel source tree

Benefit from the recent conversion of the driver to NAPI and enable GRO support through the use of napi_gro_receive(). Pass the NAPI pointer from the bus driver (mlxsw_pci) to the switch driver (mlxsw_spectrum) through the skb control block where various packet metadata is already encoded. The main motivation is to improve forwarding performance through the use of GRO fraglist [1]. In my testing, when the forwarding data path is simple (routing between two ports) there is not much difference in forwarding performance between GRO disabled and GRO enabled with fraglist. The improvement becomes more noticeable as the data path becomes more complex since it is traversed less times with GRO enabled. For example, with 10 ingress and 10 egress flower filters with different priorities on the two ports between which routing is performed, there is an improvement of about 140% in forwarded bandwidth.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
