[NET PATCH 9/9] venet: add Layer-4 Reassembler Offload (L4RO) support

From: Gregory Haskins
Date: Wed Oct 14 2009 - 12:11:53 EST


This is the converse to GSO. It lets us receive fully reassembled L4
frames from the host. This allows us to reduce the interrupt rate of
the guest, take advantage of host-based hardware that does reassembly,
and to skip the SAR overhead for localhost (host->guest, guest->guest)
connectivity.

We accomplish this by re-using the SG support from the transmit/GSO side
and supplying a "page-queue" of free pages to use for when we need
frames larger than MTU.
