It would seem that the gains you get from GRO are nullified by linearizing the SKB and thus copying all the data around and allocating buffers. Finally, all of that new checksumming stuff looks extremely suspicious. You have to explain why that is happening and why it isn't because this driver is doing something incorrectly. Thanks.
