Edward Cree 323ebb61e3 net: use listified RX for handling GRO_NORMAL skbs
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.
