I hit this by accident while working on something else: bulk TCP through
GRE-over-FOU tunnels between some EC2 VMs crawled at about one segment per
round trip, and turning GRO off on the receiving NIC made it go away. I'm
not a kernel networking person, so I went to debug it with an LLM coding
agent, and it found what's below.

Please consider this series a bug report at best. Feel free to ignore it,
or to fix it some other way if this isn't the right fix; I may well have
this wrong. Empirically, though, patch 1 fixes the packet loss we were
seeing, both on our VMs and in the reproducer in patch 2.

Here is the summary with links:

  - [net,2/2] selftests: net: add a test for GRO of GRE over FOU and GUE

You are awesome, thank you!
