Currently, GRO does not flush packets when the CWR bit is set.
A corresponding self-test is being added, in which the CWR flag
is set for two consecutive packets, but the first packet with the
CWR flag set will not be flushed immediately.

GRO test groups the cases into categories, e.g. "tcp" case
checks coalescing in presence of:
- packets with bad csum,
- sequence number mismatch,
- timestamp option value mismatch,
- different TCP options.
Since we now have TAP support grouping the cases like that
lowers our reporting granularity. This matters even more for
NICs performing HW GRO and LRO since it appears that most
implementation have _some_ bugs. Flagging the whole group
of tests as failed prevents us from catching regressions
in the things that work today.

The gro.py test (testing software GRO) is slightly flaky when
running against fbnic. We see one flake per roughly 20 runs in NIPA,
mostly in ipip.large, and always including some EAGAIN:
# Shouldn't coalesce if exceed IP max pkt size: Test succeeded
# Expected {65475 899 }, Total 2 packets
# Received {65475 899 }, Total 2 packets.
# Expected {64576 900 900 }, Total 3 packets
# Received {64576 /home/virtme/testing/wt-24/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/gro: could not receive: Resource temporarily unavailable
The test sends 2 large frames (64k + change). Looks like the default
packet socket rcvbuf (~200kB) may not be large enough to hold them.
Bump the rcvbuf to 1MB.
Add a debug print showing socket statistics to make debugging this
issue easier in the future. Without the rcvbuf increase we see:
# Shouldn't coalesce if exceed IP max pkt size: Test succeeded
# Expected {65475 899 }, Total 2 packets
# Received {65475 899 }, Total 2 packets.
# Expected {64576 900 900 }, Total 3 packets
# Received {64576 Socket stats: packets=7, drops=3

- "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO
- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.
- "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)

Rewrite the existing gro.sh test in Python. The conversion
not exact, the changes are related to integrating the test
with our "remote endpoint" paradigm. The test now reads
the IP addresses from the user config. It resolves the MAC
address (including running over Layer 3 networks).

The GRO test can run on a real device or a veth.
The Toeplitz hash test can only run on a real device.
Move them from net/ to drivers/net/ and drivers/net/hw/ respectively.
There are two scripts which set up the environment for these tests
setup_loopback.sh and setup_veth.sh. Move those scripts to net/lib.
The paths to the setup files are a little ugly but they will be
deleted shortly.
toeplitz_client.sh is not a test in itself, but rather a helper
to send traffic, so add it to TEST_FILES rather than TEST_PROGS.
