Main difference between napi_frags_skb() and napi_gro_receive() is that
the later is called while ethernet header was already pulled by the NIC
driver (eth_type_trans() was called before napi_gro_receive())
Jerry Chu in commit 299603e837 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the
upcoming tunneling support") tried to remove this difference by calling
eth_type_trans() from napi_frags_skb() instead of doing this later from
napi_frags_finish()
Goal was that napi_gro_complete() could call
ptype->callbacks.gro_complete(skb, 0) (offset of first network header =
0)
Also, xxx_gro_receive() handlers all use off = skb_gro_offset(skb) to
point to their own header, for the current skb and ones held in gro_list
Problem is this cleanup work defeated the frag0 optimization:
It turns out the consecutive pskb_may_pull() calls are too expensive.
This patch brings back the frag0 stuff in napi_frags_skb().
As all skb have their mac header in skb head, we no longer need
skb_gro_mac_header()
