Okay but AFAICT this patch then violates the basic idea behind partial
delivery. It will cause such small message to just not be delivered
anymore, and keep using the receive buffer which it is trying to free
some bits at this moment.
Btw, you also need to Cc netdev@vger.kernel.org for patches to
actually get applied by DaveM.
