This adds a new NETIF_F_GRO_LIST feature flag. I will be used to configure listfyed GRO what will be implemented with some followup paches.This should probably simultaneously introduce SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST as well as a BUILD_BUG_ON in net_gso_ok. Please also in the commit describe the constraints of skbs that have this type. If I'm not mistaken, an skb with either gso_size linear data or one gso_sized frag, followed by a frag_list of the same. With the exception of the last frag_list member, whose mss may be less than gso_size. This will help when reasoning about all the types of skbs we may see at segmentation, as we recently had to do [1]
Would it be preferrable to allow any size skbs for the listification. Since the original skbs are being restored, single gso_size shoudln't be a constraint here. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project
