Recently I started seeing warnings about pages with refcount -1. The problem was traced to packets being reused after their head was merged into a GRO packet by skb_gro_receive(). While bisecting the issue pointed to commitc21b48cc1b("net: adjust skb->truesize in ___pskb_trim()") and I have never seen it on a kernel with it reverted, I believe the real problem appeared earlier when the option to merge head frag in GRO was implemented. Handling NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD state was only added to GRO_MERGED_FREE branch of napi_skb_finish() so that if the driver uses napi_gro_frags() and head is merged (which in my case happens after the skb_condense() call added by the commit mentioned above), the skb is reused including the head that has been merged. As a result, we release the page reference twice and eventually end up with negative page refcount. To fix the problem, handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD in napi_frags_finish() the same way it's done in napi_skb_finish().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
