Jakub Kicinski 69a4e74e4c selftests: drv-net: gro: signal over-coalescing more reliably
GRO test is very timing-sensitive, packets may be delayed
by the network or just sent slowly. Because of this we retry
each test case up to 6 times.

This makes perfect sense for positive cases, in which we want
to see coalescing. Negative test cases, which modify headers
and expect no coalescing should have opposite treatment.
We should really try 6 times and make sure that each time
the test failed. This would, however, require that we annotate
each test to indicate whether its positive or negative.
Let's start with a simpler improvement. Do not allow
retries if we detected over-coalescing. Previously the negative
case would have to get lucky at least once in 6 tries to pass.
Now the first failure breaks the retry loop.

For background - NICs tend to ignore the contents of the TCP
timestamp option, so that test case commonly fails. In NIPA
having 6 attempts, however, was enough for some NICs to get
multiple successful runs in a row, getting the test cases
auto-classified as expected to pass, even tho the NIC does
not comply with the expectations.

GRO (Generic Receive Offload) conformance tests.
Validates that GRO coalescing works correctly by running the gro
binary in different configurations and checking for correct packet
coalescing behavior.
Test cases:
- data_same: Same size data packets coalesce
- data_lrg_sml: Large packet followed by smaller one coalesces
- data_lrg_1byte: Large packet followed by 1B one coalesces (Ethernet padding)
- data_sml_lrg: Small packet followed by larger one doesn't coalesce
- ack: Pure ACK packets do not coalesce
- flags_psh: Packets with PSH flag don't coalesce
- flags_syn: Packets with SYN flag don't coalesce
- flags_rst: Packets with RST flag don't coalesce
- flags_urg: Packets with URG flag don't coalesce
- flags_cwr: Packets with CWR flag don't coalesce
- tcp_csum: Packets with incorrect checksum don't coalesce
- tcp_seq: Packets with non-consecutive seqno don't coalesce
- tcp_ts: Packets with different timestamp options don't coalesce
- tcp_opt: Packets with different TCP options don't coalesce
- ip_ecn: Packets with different ECN don't coalesce
- ip_tos: Packets with different TOS don't coalesce
- ip_ttl: (IPv4) Packets with different TTL don't coalesce
- ip_opt: (IPv4) Packets with IP options don't coalesce
- ip_frag4: (IPv4) IPv4 fragments don't coalesce
- ip_id_df*: (IPv4) IP ID field coalescing tests
- ip_frag6: (IPv6) IPv6 fragments don't coalesce
- ip_v6ext_same: (IPv6) IPv6 ext header with same payload coalesces
- ip_v6ext_diff: (IPv6) IPv6 ext header with different payload doesn't coalesce
- large_max: Packets exceeding GRO_MAX_SIZE don't coalesce
