> 	P1 contains PSH flag and since it does not contain any prior packets in the flow
> 	we copy it to unprocess_packets and P2(ACK) and P3(ACK) are merged together.
> 	In the existing case the  P2,P3 would be delivered as single segment first and the
> 	unprocess_packets will be copied later which will cause reordering. With the patch
> 	copy the unprocess packets first and then the packets from the GRO table.

> 	Testing done
> 	The csum test-pmd was modified to support the following
> 	GET request of 10MB from client to server via test-pmd (static arp entries added in client
> 	and server). Enable GRO and TSO in test-pmd where the packets recived from the client mac
> 	would be sent to server mac and vice versa.
> 	In above testing, without the patch the client observerd re-ordering of 25 packets
> 	and with the patch there were no packet re-ordering observerd.
