    iwlwifi: dont pull too much payload in skb head · 56138f50
    Eric Dumazet authored
    As iwlwifi use fat skbs, it should not pull too much data in skb->head,
    and particularly no tcp data payload, or splice() is slower, and TCP
    coalescing is disabled. Copying payload to userland also involves at
    least two copies (part from header, part from fragment)
    
    Each layer will pull its header from the fragment as needed.
    
    (on 64bit arches, skb_tailroom(skb) at this point is 192 bytes)
    
    With this patch applied, I have a major reduction of collapsed/pruned
    TCP packets, a nice increase of TCPRcvCoalesce counter, and overall
    better Internet User experience.
    
    Small packets are still using a fragless skb, so that page can be reused
    by the driver.
