gso_size is expected by the networking stack to be the size of the
payload (thus, not including ethernet/IP/TCP-headers). However, cqe_bcnt
is the full sized frame (including the headers). Dividing cqe_bcnt by
lro_num_seg will then give incorrect results.
For example, running a bpftrace higher up in the TCP-stack
(tcp_event_data_recv), we commonly have gso_size set to 1450 or 1451 even
though in reality the payload was only 1448 bytes.
This can have unintended consequences:
- In tcp_measure_rcv_mss() len will be for example 1450, but. rcv_mss
will be 1448 (because tp->advmss is 1448). Thus, we will always
recompute scaling_ratio each time an LRO-packet is received.
- In tcp_gro_receive(), it will interfere with the decision whether or
not to flush and thus potentially result in less gro'ed packets.
So, we need to discount the protocol headers from cqe_bcnt so we can
actually divide the payload by lro_num_seg to get the real gso_size.
v2:
- Use "(unsigned char *)tcp + tcp->doff * 4 - skb->data)" to compute header-len
