Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/8] net: macb: drop handling of recycled buffers in gem_rx_refill()
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:24:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304-macb-xsk-v1-4-ba2ebe2bdaa3@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304-macb-xsk-v1-0-ba2ebe2bdaa3@bootlin.com>
The refill operation supports detecting if a buffer is present in a
slot; if it is, then it updates its DMA descriptor reusing the same
buffer.
This behavior can be dropped; all codepaths of gem_rx() letting a buffer
lay around to be reused by refill have disappeared. Said another way:
every time queue->tx_tail is incremented, queue->rx_buff[entry] is set
to NULL.
On the same occasion, move `gfp_alloc` assignment out of the loop and
into variable declarations. Its value is constant across the function's
lifetime. Also fix tiny alignment issue with the while statement.
