> Commit 323ebb61e32b4 ("net: use listified RX for handling GRO_NORMAL
> skbs") made use of listified skb processing for the users of
> napi_gro_frags().
> The same technique can be used in a way more common napi_gro_receive()
> to speed up non-merged (GRO_NORMAL) skbs for a wide range of drivers
> including gro_cells and mac80211 users.
> This slightly changes the return value in cases where skb is being
> dropped by the core stack, but it seems to have no impact on related
> drivers' functionality.
> gro_normal_batch is left untouched as it's very individual for every
> single system configuration and might be tuned in manual order to
