[ Upstream commitb167191e2a] Commit6570bc79c0("net: core: use listified Rx for GRO_NORMAL in napi_gro_receive()") has applied batched GRO_NORMAL packets processing to all napi_gro_receive() users, including mac80211-based drivers. However, this change has led to a regression in iwlwifi driver [1][2] as it is required for NAPI users to call napi_complete_done() or napi_complete() and the end of every polling iteration, whilst iwlwifi doesn't use NAPI scheduling at all and just calls napi_gro_flush(). In that particular case, packets which have not been already flushed from napi->rx_list stall in it until at least next Rx cycle. Fix this by adding a manual flushing of the list to iwlwifi driver right before napi_gro_flush() call to mimic napi_complete() logics. I prefer to open-code gro_normal_list() rather than exporting it for 2 reasons: * to prevent from using it and napi_gro_flush() in any new drivers, as it is the *really* bad way to use NAPI that should be avoided; * to keep gro_normal_list() static and don't lose any CC optimizations. I also don't add the "Fixes:" tag as the mentioned commit was only a trigger that only exposed an improper usage of NAPI in this particular driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
