Oh well. This is v7 of your series, and nobody complained yet ?

This is a new cache miss on a _critical_ path.

Why not deferring here the access to skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg ?

if (dev_is_mpassthru(skb->dev)) {
	struct skb_external_page *ext_page =
				skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg;
	if (ext_page && ext_page->dtor)
		ext_page->dtor(ext_page);
}

destructor_arg should me moved before frags[] if you really want to use it.
