Right, this suggests UDP GRO fraglist is a pathological case of GRO,
not saving memory.
Real GRO (TCP in most cases) will consume one skb,

Well, we already have a cache to bulk flush "consumed" skbs, although
kmem_cache_free() is generally lighter than kmem_cache_alloc(), and
a page frag cache to allocate

Without wishing to weigh in on whether this caching is a good idea...
Wouldn't it be simpler, rather than having two separate "alloc" and "flush"
caches, to have a single larger cache, such that whenever it becomes full
we bulk flush the top half, and when it's empty we bulk alloc the bottom

Inspired by cpu_map_kthread_run() and _kfree_skb_defer() logics.
Currently, all sorts of skb allocation always do allocate
skbuff_heads one by one via kmem_cache_alloc().
On the other hand, we have percpu napi_alloc_cache to store
skbuff_heads queued up for freeing and flush them by bulks.
