Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 4/5] net: gro: remove unnecessary df checks
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 13:39:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250915113933.3293-5-richardbgobert@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250915113933.3293-1-richardbgobert@gmail.com>
Currently, packets with fixed IDs will be merged only if their
don't-fragment bit is set. This restriction is unnecessary since packets
without the don't-fragment bit will be forwarded as-is even if they were
merged together.
If packets are merged together and then fragmented, they will first be
re-split into segments before being further fragmented, so the behavior
is identical whether or not the packets were first merged together.
Clean up the code by removing the unnecessary don't-fragment checks.
