    net: mvpp2: switch to build_skb() in the RX path · 0e037281
    Thomas Petazzoni authored
    This commit adapts the mvpp2 RX path to use the build_skb() method. Not
    only build_skb() is now the recommended mechanism, but it also
    simplifies the addition of support for the PPv2.2 variant.
    
    Indeed, without build_skb(), we have to keep track for each RX
    descriptor of the physical address of the packet buffer, and the virtual
    address of the SKB. However, in PPv2.2 running on 64 bits platform,
    there is not enough space in the descriptor to store the virtual address
    of the SKB. So having to take care only of the address of the packet
    buffer, and building the SKB upon reception helps in supporting PPv2.2.
    
    The implementation is fairly straightforward:
    
     - mvpp2_skb_alloc() is renamed to mvpp2_buf_alloc() and no longer
       allocates a SKB. Instead, it allocates a buffer using the new
       mvpp2_frag_alloc() function, with enough space for the data and SKB.
    
     - The initialization of the RX buffers in mvpp2_bm_bufs_add() as well
       as the refill of the RX buffers in mvpp2_rx_refill() is adjusted
       accordingly.
    
     - Finally, the mvpp2_rx() is modified to use build_skb().
