Lorenzo Bianconi 8dc9a0888f net: mvneta: rely on build_skb in mvneta_rx_swbm poll routine
Refactor mvneta_rx_swbm code introducing mvneta_swbm_rx_frame and
mvneta_swbm_add_rx_fragment routines. Rely on build_skb in oreder to
allocate skb since the previous patch introduced buffer recycling using
the page_pool API.
This patch fixes even an issue in the original driver where dma buffers
are accessed before dma sync.
mvneta driver can run on not cache coherent devices so it is
necessary to sync DMA buffers before sending them to the device
in order to avoid memory corruptions. Running perf analysis we can
see a performance cost associated with this DMA-sync (anyway it is
already there in the original driver code). In follow up patches we
will add more logic to reduce DMA-sync as much as possible.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
