So it turns out keeping the workload in place while I update and reboot
the kernel is a Hard Problem. I'll put in some more effort and see if I
can get one of the workloads to stay still, but it'll be a somewhat
noisy test even if it works. So the following are synthetic tests
(neper) but on a real prod setup as far as container networking and
configuration is concerned.
I cherry-picked 586be610~1..ca22ac8e9de onto our 6.9-ish branch. Had to
skip some of the flag refactors b/c of conflicts - I didn't know the
code well enough to do fixups. So I had to apply this diff (FWIW not sure
the struct_size() here was right anyhow):
diff --git a/kernel/bpf/cpumap.c b/kernel/bpf/cpumap.c

So it looks like the GRO patches work quite well out of the box. It's
curious that tcp_rr transactions go down a bit, though. I don't have any
intuition around that.
Lemme know if you wanna change some stuff and get a rerun.
Thanks,
Daniel
