Current driver dynamically allocates an skb and maps it as DMA Rx buffer. In order to prepare for upcoming XDP changes, let's introduce a different allocation scheme. Buffers are allocated dynamically and mapped into hardware. During the Rx operation the driver uses build_skb() to produce the necessary buffers for the network stack. This change increases performance ~15% on 64b packets with smmu disabled and ~5% with smmu enabled Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> 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.
