mainlining shenanigans
5c67bf0ec4
Use page_pool and it's DMA mapping capabilities for Rx buffers instead of netdev/napi_alloc_frag() Although this will result in a slight performance penalty on small sized packets (~10%) the use of the API will allow to easily add XDP support. The penalty won't be visible in network testing i.e ipef/netperf etc, it only happens during raw packet drops. Furthermore we intend to add recycling capabilities on the API in the future. Once the recycling is added the performance penalty will go away. The only 'real' penalty is the slightly increased memory usage, since we now allocate a page per packet instead of the amount of bytes we need + skb metadata (difference is roughly 2kb per packet). With a minimum of 4BG of RAM on the only SoC that has this NIC the extra memory usage is negligible (a bit more on 64K pages) Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
