[PATCH net-next 7/7] bnxt_en: Use page frag RX buffers for better software GRO performance

[Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4196 bytes --]

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

If NETIF_F_GRO_HW is disabled, the existing driver code uses kmalloc'ed
data for RX buffers.  This causes inefficient SW GRO performance
because the GRO data is merged using the less efficient frag_list.
Use netdev_alloc_frag() and friends instead so that GRO data can be
merged into skb_shinfo(skb)->frags for better performance.

[Use skb_free_frag() - Vikas Gupta]
