+Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: add GRO support via gro_cells
+
+gro_cells lib is used by different encapsulating netdevices, such as
+geneve, macsec, vxlan etc. to speed up decapsulated traffic processing.
+CPU tag is a sort of "encapsulation", and we can use the same mechs to
+greatly improve overall DSA performance.
+skbs are passed to the GRO layer after removing CPU tags, so we don't
+need any new packet offload types as it was firstly proposed by me in
+the first GRO-over-DSA variant [1].
+
+The size of struct gro_cells is sizeof(void *), so hot struct
+dsa_slave_priv becomes only 4/8 bytes bigger, and all critical fields
+remain in one 32-byte cacheline.
+The other positive side effect is that drivers for network devices
+that can be shipped as CPU ports of DSA-driven switches can now use
+napi_gro_frags() to pass skbs to kernel. Packets built that way are
+completely non-linear and are likely being dropped without GRO.
+
+This was tested on to-be-mainlined-soon Ethernet driver that uses
+napi_gro_frags(), and the overall performance was on par with the
+variant from [1], sometimes even better due to minimal overhead.
+net.core.gro_normal_batch tuning may help to push it to the limit
+on particular setups and platforms.
