Subject: NET: skip GRO for otherhost packets
|
||||
|
||||
For network drivers using napi_gro_receive, packets are run through GRO,
|
||||
even when the destination MAC address does not match, and they're supposed
|
||||
to be delivered to another host behind a different bridge port.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be very expensive, because for drivers without TSO or scatter-
|
||||
gather, this can only be undone by copying the skb and checksumming it
|
||||
again.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix this by leaving skbs with PACKET_OTHERHOST untouched.
