commit e131a5634830047923c694b4ce0c3b31745ff01b upstream.
gro_cells lib is used by different encapsulating netdevices, such as
geneve, macsec, vxlan etc. to speed up decapsulated traffic processing.
CPU tag is a sort of "encapsulation", and we can use the same mechs to
greatly improve overall DSA performance.
skbs are passed to the GRO layer after removing CPU tags, so we don't
need any new packet offload types as it was firstly proposed by me in
the first GRO-over-DSA variant [1].
The size of struct gro_cells is sizeof(void *), so hot struct
dsa_slave_priv becomes only 4/8 bytes bigger, and all critical fields
remain in one 32-byte cacheline.
The other positive side effect is that drivers for network devices
that can be shipped as CPU ports of DSA-driven switches can now use
napi_gro_frags() to pass skbs to kernel. Packets built that way are
completely non-linear and are likely being dropped without GRO.
This was tested on to-be-mainlined-soon Ethernet driver that uses
napi_gro_frags(), and the overall performance was on par with the
variant from [1], sometimes even better due to minimal overhead.
net.core.gro_normal_batch tuning may help to push it to the limit
on particular setups and platforms.

This patch radically increase network performance on DSA setup.
Please include this patch into stable releases.
I have done following tests:
NAT is a tested Espressobin board (ARM64 Marvell Armada 3720 SoC with
Marvell 88E6141 DSA switch) which was configured for IPv4 masquerade.
WAN and LAN are another two static boxes on which was running iperf3.

So this patch should be applied to the 4.19 and 5.4 stable queues?
Speed increases like this are always nice to see :)

Yes! Patch was introduced in 5.8 and applies cleanly for 4.19 and 5.4

results in patch conflicts. So I have done tests only for 4.19 and 5.4.
