 packets to gro stack)

Hello,

I would like to report a 6.1,y regression in a network performance
observed when using "git clone".

BAD: "git clone" speed with kernel 6.1,y:
   # git clone git@...hub.com:..../.....git
   ...
   Receiving objects:   8% (47797/571306), 20.69 MiB | 3.27 MiB/s

GOOD: "git clone" speed with kernel 6.0,y:
   # git clone git@...hub.com:..../.....git
   ...
   Receiving objects:  72% (411341/571306), 181.05 MiB | 60.27 MiB/s

I bisected the issue to a commit
5eddb24901ee49eee23c0bfce6af2e83fd5679bd "gro: add support of (hw)gro
packets to gro stack". Reverting it from 6.1.y branch makes the git
clone fast like with 6.0.y.

Best regards,
