Do you mean receive_mergeable() should call page_to_skb()? It has been
there several years. And even with your changes, for big and small
packets, page_to_skb() were still called directly receive_buf() and the
error handling were done there.

The problem is your patch mixes several bugs fixing with re-factoring,
only one of the bug fixing was really needed for stable. At least we
should make incremental patches on this.

It may not be so easy for the people who are not familiar with
virtio-net and the s/skb->dev/dev/g changes looks irrelevant here.
