Thats the way it is in linux.

We count the memory size used by the packet.

If not, a malicious attacker could send 1-byte frames and exhaust your
kernel memory.

If you want to reduce it, you might use copybreak : Some drivers copy
the data into a small skb instead of providing a jumbo frame to upper
stack.

tg3 for example.
