Subject: RE: [net PATCH 2/2] ipv4/GRO: Make GRO conform to RFC 6864
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2016 15:13:42 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <003901d18c5b$5f6f5760$1e4e0620$@codeaurora.org> (raw)

|  For transmit we can leave the IP ID code as is.  For receive we should not be
|  snooping into the IP ID for any frames that have the DF bit set as devices
|  that have adopted RFC 6864 on their transmit path will end up causing issues.

Currently, GRO does not coalesce TCP packets originating from nodes which do IPv6 to IPv4 translation.
These packets have DF set to 1 and IP ID set 0 according to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6145#page-17 

With this patch, we should be able to see coalescing happen for those cases as well.
