Similar to Eric's IPv6 BIG TCP, this patch is to enable IPv4 BIG TCP. Firstly, allow sk->sk_gso_max_size to be set to a value greater than GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE by not trimming gso_max_size in sk_trim_gso_size() for IPv4 TCP sockets. Then on TX path, set IP header tot_len to 0 when skb->len > IP_MAX_MTU in __ip_local_out() to allow to send BIG TCP packets, and this implies that skb->len is the length of a IPv4 packet; On RX path, use skb->len as the length of the IPv4 packet when the IP header tot_len is 0 and skb->len > IP_MAX_MTU in ip_rcv_core(). As the API iph_set_totlen() and skb_ip_totlen() are used in __ip_local_out() and ip_rcv_core(), we only need to update these APIs. Also in GRO receive, add the check for ETH_P_IP/IPPROTO_TCP, and allows the merged packet size >= GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE in skb_gro_receive(). In GRO complete, set IP header tot_len to 0 when the merged packet size greater than IP_MAX_MTU in iph_set_totlen() so that it can be processed on RX path. Note that by checking skb_is_gso_tcp() in API iph_totlen(), it makes this implementation safe to use iph->len == 0 indicates IPv4 BIG TCP packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
