Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] net: pppoe: implement GRO/GSO support
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 11:57:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250811095734.71019-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
Only handles packets where the pppoe header length field matches the exact
packet length. Significantly improves rx throughput.
When running NAT traffic through a MediaTek MT7621 devices from a host
behind PPPoE to a host directly connected via ethernet, the TCP throughput
that the device is able to handle improves from ~130 Mbit/s to ~630 Mbit/s,
using fraglist GRO.

v2: fix compile error
v3:
- increase priority value
- implement GSO support
- use INDIRECT_CALL_INET
- update pppoe length field
- remove unnecessary network_offsets update
