> Introduce NETIF_F_GRO_HW feature flag and convert drivers that support > hardware GRO to use the flag. So I think we should continue ahead with NETIF_F_GRO_HW. LRO, even if it were in some way more appropriate, has so many stigmas attached to it. And if you look around the internet, articles say to turn it off for this reason or that due to the information loss LRO creates. The only thing unresolved is how to manage the situation where a bond or bridge has a mixture of LRO and GRO_HW devices attached, and Michael said he would look into it. Thanks.
