Hi!

Would it not be better to try to actually defer them (queue to 
the deferred free list and try to ship back to the NAPI cache of 
the allocating core)? Is the spin lock on the defer list problematic
for fowarding cases (which I'm assuming your target)?

Also the lack of perf numbers is a bit of a red flag.

If we wanna keep the implementation as is - I think we should rename
the thing to say "bulk" rather than "defer" to avoid confusion with 
the TCP's "defer to allocating core" scheme..

kfree_skb_list_bulk() ?
