Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 5/6] selftests: drv-net: gro: add test for packet ordering
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:45:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316224505.279672-6-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316224505.279672-1-kuba@kernel.org>
Add a test to check if the NIC reorders packets if the hit GRO.
