    net: Add skb_gro_receive · 71d93b39
    Herbert Xu authored
    This patch adds the helper skb_gro_receive to merge packets for
    GRO.  The current method is to allocate a new header skb and then
    chain the original packets to its frag_list.  This is done to
    make it easier to integrate into the existing GSO framework.
    
    In future as GSO is moved into the drivers, we can undo this and
    simply chain the original packets together.
