I looked into the code dev_gro_receive(), found the code here:
if the frags[0] is pulled to 0, then the page will be released,
and memmove() frags left.
Is that right? I'm not sure if memmove do right or not, but
frags[0].size is never set after memove at least. what I think
a simple way is not to do anything if we found frags[0].size == 0.
The patch is as followed.

Or am I missing something here?
