On my system this setting has absolutely no effect on the skb related
latencies. I tested setting netdev_max_backlog to every power of two
between 1 and 128, and regardless of this setting, I can produce a
450-600 usec latency with:

ping -s 65507 -f $DEFAULT_GATEWAY

Looks like skb_checksum is the problem. Here is one of the traces:
