Re: [RFC 1/3] lro: Generic LRO for TCP traffic

Hi, Jan-Bernd.

I have couple of comments over implementation besides one you saw
previous time.

I think you do not want to break lro frame because of push flag - it is
pretty common flag, which does not brak processing (and I'm not sure if
it has any special meaning this days).

This still does not handle wrapping over 32 bits.
What about
if (lro_desc && after(ntohl(lro_desc->tcp_rcv_tsval), ntohl(*topt)))
	return -1;

Ugh... What about tree structure or hash here?

There is no protection of the descriptor array from accessing from
different CPUs. Is it forbidden to share net_lro_mgr structure?
