Paolo Abeni e20cf8d3f1 udp: implement GRO for plain UDP sockets.
This is the RX counterpart of commit bec1f6f697 ("udp: generate gso
with UDP_SEGMENT"). When UDP_GRO is enabled, such socket is also
eligible for GRO in the rx path: UDP segments directed to such socket
are assembled into a larger GSO_UDP_L4 packet.

The core UDP GRO support is enabled with setsockopt(UDP_GRO).

Initial benchmark numbers:

Before:
udp rx:   1079 MB/s   769065 calls/s

After:
udp rx:   1466 MB/s    24877 calls/s

This change introduces a side effect in respect to UDP tunnels:
after a UDP tunnel creation, now the kernel performs a lookup per ingress
UDP packet, while before such lookup happened only if the ingress packet
carried a valid internal header csum.

rfc v2 -> rfc v3:
 - fixed typos in macro name and comments
 - really enforce UDP_GRO_CNT_MAX, instead of UDP_GRO_CNT_MAX + 1
 - acquire socket lock in UDP_GRO setsockopt

rfc v1 -> rfc v2:
 - use a new option to enable UDP GRO
 - use static keys to protect the UDP GRO socket lookup

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
