[PATCH 5.4 52/60] net: gro: do not keep too many GRO packets in napi->rx_list

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 15 2021 - 11:02:46 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8dc1c444df193701910f5e80b5d4caaf705a8fb0 upstream.

Commit c80794323e82 ("net: Fix packet reordering caused by GRO and
listified RX cooperation") had the unfortunate effect of adding
latencies in common workloads.

Before the patch, GRO packets were immediately passed to
upper stacks.

After the patch, we can accumulate quite a lot of GRO
packets (depdending on NAPI budget).

My fix is counting in napi->rx_count number of segments
instead of number of logical packets.
