Subject: [net-next v7 05/10] net: bnxt: Add TX inline buffer infrastructure
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 16:37:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401233745.2333858-6-joe@dama.to> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401233745.2333858-1-joe@dama.to>

Add per-ring pre-allocated inline buffer fields (tx_inline_buf,
tx_inline_dma, tx_inline_size) to bnxt_tx_ring_info and helpers to
allocate and free them. A producer and consumer (tx_inline_prod,
tx_inline_cons) are added to track which slot(s) of the inline buffer
are in-use.

The inline buffer will be used by the SW USO path for pre-allocated,
pre-DMA-mapped per-segment header copies. In the future, this
could be extended to support TX copybreak.

Allocation helper is marked __maybe_unused in this commit because it
will be wired in later.

 v5:
   - Added Pavan's Reviewed-by. No functional changes.

 rfcv2:
   - Added a producer and consumer to correctly track the in use header slots.
