This looks fine, series applied, thanks.

Interesting, this only seems to show up with 64-bits build, which is why
I did not catch this earlier (building for ARMv7 typically), sorry about
that, I will come up with a fix.

So napi_gro_cb really is 48 bytes on 64-bits architectures (had not
realized it was so big).

What would you recommend to do here considering that this driver is
currently used on 32-bits platforms, but I see no reason why someone
would no want to use this feature on a 64-bit platform, yet we are
competing with napi_gro_cb, and adding a new skbuff member is pretty
much a no-no? Would it be acceptable to have a new member which is ifdef
CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_BRCM?

FWIW, this does provide a small 2-3% throughput increase for RX.

I haven't read a lot of the detail in your patch series yet nor do I 
understand the ramifications of the error this has triggered. But I will 
stick my hand up for this point. We do have a router with a 64-bit CPU 
and a bcm L2 switch (b53 is the code name being flung around).

None of this is upstream (yet) but the CPU vendor has at least come to 
the party and has landed patches in 4.2. We'd probably have to do the 
switch support ourselves (perhaps based on code from openWRT).

I'll leaves this for the netdev folks to comment on. I just wanted to 
let you know that such a use-case _may_ exist.

Which layer will read this tag after GRO processing ?

It seems you simply can use skb->cb[] like other layers : At offset 0.

BTW brcm_tag_rcv() does not even use GRO, as it calls
netif_receive_skb()

DSA would read this tag, but in general any ethertype hook using
packet_type would be in the same boat.

That is right here, we will come from the RX processing of a driver that
might use napi_gro_receive, as it turns out the sequence looks like this
here:

bcm_sysport_desc_rx()
-> extract tag
eth_type_trans() sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_XDSA
napi_gro_receive(), sets skb->cb to napi_gro_cb
-> walk the list of packet_type find the one for ETH_P_XDSA
-> brcm_tag_rcv()

BTW, there is no build time assertion that napi_gro_cb is not exceeding
skb->cb right now, even though they both have the same size on 64-bits,
should we have one?

You really need to find a way to make it fit in it's current size
on 64-bit.
