mainlining shenanigans
8dc9a0888f
Refactor mvneta_rx_swbm code introducing mvneta_swbm_rx_frame and mvneta_swbm_add_rx_fragment routines. Rely on build_skb in oreder to allocate skb since the previous patch introduced buffer recycling using the page_pool API. This patch fixes even an issue in the original driver where dma buffers are accessed before dma sync. mvneta driver can run on not cache coherent devices so it is necessary to sync DMA buffers before sending them to the device in order to avoid memory corruptions. Running perf analysis we can see a performance cost associated with this DMA-sync (anyway it is already there in the original driver code). In follow up patches we will add more logic to reduce DMA-sync as much as possible.

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.
