[ Upstream commit b167191e2a851cb2e4c6ef8b91c83ff73ef41872 ]
Commit 6570bc79c0df ("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.
