In case GRO is not as efficient as it should be or disabled, we might have a user thread trapped in __release_sock() while softirq handler flood packets up to the point we have to drop. This patch balances work done from user thread and softirq, to give more chances to __release_sock() to complete its work before new packets are added the the backlog. This also helps if we receive many ACK packets, since GRO does not aggregate them. This patch brings ~60% throughput increase on a receiver without GRO, but the spectacular gain is really on 1000x release_sock() latency reduction I have measured.

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.
