I think yes, FWIW we will compare the IPoIB header, Roland is that okay for you?

A memcmp(xxx, yyy, variable_len) will be out of line and slow, its a bit sad 
... Are skb_mac_header(p) / skb_gro_mac_header(skb) going to point to IPoIB 
header ?

yes, both skb_mac_header(p) / skb_gro_mac_header(skb) point to IPoIB header, however (see next)


Maybe we can keep a fastpath for ethernet case... (the "if (hlen == ETH_HLEN) 
being always predicted)
Maybe need to introduce gro_hard_header_len as well)

today, IPoIB advertizes hard_header_len which is bigger than the IPoIB header len, this is done such that skbs sent by the network stack have enough headroom for a "pseudoheader" which for few flows (e.g unicast arp replies and multicast) is placed there by the ipoib hard_header function and later used by the xmit function.

So we can either try and change that, such that hard_header_len will be equal to the ipoib header len or add gro_hard_header_len as you suggested, any preferences?

Or.

Or.
