When GRO decides not to coalesce a packet, in napi_frags_finish(), instead of passing it to the stack immediately, place it on a list in the napi struct. Then, at flush time (napi_complete_done(), napi_poll(), or napi_busy_loop()), call netif_receive_skb_list_internal() on the list. We'd like to do that in napi_gro_flush(), but it's not called if !napi->gro_bitmask, so we have to do it in the callers instead. (There are a handful of drivers that call napi_gro_flush() themselves, but it's not clear why, or whether this will affect them.) Because a full 64 packets is an inefficiently large batch, also consume the list whenever it exceeds gro_normal_batch, a new net/core sysctl that defaults to 8.

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.
