[PATCH v4 1/2] gro: decrease size of CB

Richard Gobert
2023-03-20T16:56:33Z

The GRO control block (NAPI_GRO_CB) is currently at its maximum size. This
commit reduces its size by putting two groups of fields that are used only
at different times into a union.

Specifically, the fields frag0 and frag0_len are the fields that make up
the frag0 optimisation mechanism, which is used during the initial parsing
of the SKB.

The fields last and age are used after the initial parsing, while the SKB
is stored in the GRO list, waiting for other packets to arrive.

There was one location in dev_gro_receive that modified the frag0 fields
after setting last and age. I changed this accordingly without altering the
code behaviour.
