Coco Li a695641c8e gve: Support IPv6 Big TCP on DQ
Add support for using IPv6 Big TCP on DQ which can handle large TSO/GRO
packets. See https://lwn.net/Articles/895398/. This can improve the
throughput and CPU usage.

Perf test result:
ip -d link show $DEV
gso_max_size 185000 gso_max_segs 65535 tso_max_size 262143 tso_max_segs 65535 gro_max_size 185000

For performance, tested with neper using 9k MTU on hardware that supports 200Gb/s line rate.

In single streams when line rate is not saturated, we expect throughput improvements.
When the networking is performing at line rate, we expect cpu usage improvements.

Tcp_stream (unidirectional stream test, T=thread, F=flow):
skb=180kb, T=1, F=1, no zerocopy: throughput average=64576.88 Mb/s, sender stime=8.3, receiver stime=10.68
skb=64kb,  T=1, F=1, no zerocopy: throughput average=64862.54 Mb/s, sender stime=9.96, receiver stime=12.67
skb=180kb, T=1, F=1, yes zerocopy:  throughput average=146604.97 Mb/s, sender stime=10.61, receiver stime=5.52
skb=64kb,  T=1, F=1, yes zerocopy:  throughput average=131357.78 Mb/s, sender stime=12.11, receiver stime=12.25

skb=180kb, T=20, F=100, no zerocopy:  throughput average=182411.37 Mb/s, sender stime=41.62, receiver stime=79.4
skb=64kb,  T=20, F=100, no zerocopy:  throughput average=182892.02 Mb/s, sender stime=57.39, receiver stime=72.69
skb=180kb, T=20, F=100, yes zerocopy: throughput average=182337.65 Mb/s, sender stime=27.94, receiver stime=39.7
skb=64kb,  T=20, F=100, yes zerocopy: throughput average=182144.20 Mb/s, sender stime=47.06, receiver stime=39.01

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 Restructured Text 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.
