If we just turn it into a memcmp with a variable length would
that work for you?
I think yes, FWIW we will compare the IPoIB header, Roland is that okay for you?
A memcmp(xxx, yyy, variable_len) will be out of line and slow, its a bit sad ... Are skb_mac_header(p) / skb_gro_mac_header(skb) going to point to IPoIB header ?
yes, both skb_mac_header(p) / skb_gro_mac_header(skb) point to IPoIB 
header, however (see next)

Maybe we can keep a fastpath for ethernet case... (the "if (hlen == ETH_HLEN) being always predicted)
Maybe need to introduce gro_hard_header_len as well)
today, IPoIB advertizes hard_header_len which is bigger than the IPoIB 
header len, this is done such that skbs sent by the network stack have 
enough headroom for a "pseudoheader" which for few flows (e.g unicast 
arp replies and multicast) is placed there by the ipoib hard_header 
function and later used by the xmit function.

So we can either try and change that, such that hard_header_len will be 
equal to the ipoib header len or add gro_hard_header_len as you 
suggested, any preferences?

Or.
