Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 5/6] selftests: drv-net: gro: add test for packet ordering
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:38:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318033819.1469350-6-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318033819.1469350-1-kuba@kernel.org>
Add a test to check if the NIC reorders packets if the hit GRO.
