[PATCH RFC net-next] net: airoha: Add TCP LRO support

Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo at kernel.org
Wed May 20 01:12:12 PDT 2026


Add hardware TCP Large Receive Offload (LRO) support to the airoha_eth
driver, leveraging the EN7581/AN7583 SoC's 8 dedicated LRO hardware queues
mapped to RX queues 24–31. To meet the hardware requirement for contiguous
memory regions, increase the page_pool allocation order to 2 for RX queues
24–31.

Performance comparison between GRO and hw LRO has been carried out using
a 10Gbps NIC:

GRO: ~2.7 Gbps
LRO: ~3.5 Gbps (~30% improvement)

Please note with respect to the previous implementation, page_pool
allocation order has been reduced from 5 to 2.
