Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] gro: optimise redundant parsing of packets
Currently the IPv6 extension headers are parsed twice: first in
ipv6_gro_receive, and then again in ipv6_gro_complete.
By using the new ->transport_proto field, and also storing the size of the
network header, we can avoid parsing extension headers a second time in
ipv6_gro_complete (which saves multiple memory dereferences and conditional
checks inside ipv6_exthdrs_len for a varying amount of extension headers in
IPv6 packets).
The implementation had to handle both inner and outer layers in case of
encapsulation (as they can't use the same field). I've applied a similar
optimisation to Ethernet.
Performance tests for TCP stream over IPv6 with a varying amount of
extension headers demonstrate throughput improvement of ~0.7%.
In addition, I fixed a potential future problem:
- The call to skb_set_inner_network_header at the beginning of
ipv6_gro_complete calculates inner_network_header based on skb->data by
calling skb_set_inner_network_header, and setting it to point to the
beginning of the ip header.
- If a packet is going to be handled by BIG TCP, the following code block
is going to shift the packet header, and skb->data is going to be
changed as well.
When the two flows are combined, inner_network_header will point to the
wrong place - which might happen if encapsulation of BIG TCP will be
supported in the future.
The fix is to place the whole encapsulation branch after the BIG TCP code
block. This way, if encapsulation of BIG TCP will be supported,
inner_network_header will still be calculated with the correct value of
skb->data.
Also, by arranging the code that way, the optimisation does not
add an additional branch.
