{inet,ipv6}_gro_receive functions perform flush checks (ttl, flags,
iph->id, ...) against all packets in a loop. These flush checks are used in
all merging UDP and TCP flows.
These checks need to be done only once and only against the found p skb,
since they only affect flush and not same_flow.
This patch leverages correct network header offsets from the cb for both
outer and inner network headers - allowing these checks to be done only
once, in tcp_gro_receive and udp_gro_receive_segment. As a result,
NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->flush is not used at all. In addition, flush_id checks are
more declarative and contained in inet_gro_flush, thus removing the need
for flush_id in napi_gro_cb.
This results in less parsing code for non-loop flush tests for TCP and UDP
flows.
To make sure results are not within noise range - I've made netfilter drop
all TCP packets, and measured CPU performance in GRO (in this case GRO is
responsible for about 50% of the CPU utilization).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
