My intuition is that this patch has a high cost for normal GRO processing.
SW-GRO is already a bottleneck on ARM cores in smart NICS.

I would suggest instead using parameters to give both the nhoff and thoff values
this would avoid many conditionals in the fast path.

->

INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE int udp6_gro_complete(struct sk_buff *skb, int
nhoff, int thoff)
{
const struct ipv6hdr *ipv6h = (const struct ipv6hdr *)(skb->data + nhoff);
struct udphdr *uh = (struct udphdr *)(skb->data + thoff);
..
}

INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE int tcp6_gro_complete(struct sk_buff *skb, int
nhoff, int thoff)
{
const struct ipv6hdr *iph = (const struct ipv6hdr *)(skb->data + nhoff);
struct tcphdr *th = (struct tcphdr *)(skb->data + thoff);

Why storing in skb fields things that really could be propagated more
efficiently as function parameters ?
