net: make GRO aware of skb->head_frag
GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area. We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb (one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory. This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a single sk_buff is fetched. This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment" Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Cc: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@broadcom.com> Cc: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
