[PATCH 3.2 12/18] asix: asix_rx_fixup surgery to reduce skb truesizes

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a9e0aca4b37885b5599e52211f098bd7f565e749 upstream.

asix_rx_fixup() is complex, and does some unnecessary memory copies (at
least on x86 where NET_IP_ALIGN is 0)

Also, it tends to provide skbs with a big truesize (4096+256 with
MTU=1500) to upper stack, so incoming trafic consume a lot of memory and
I noticed early packet drops because we hit socket rcvbuf too fast.

Switch to a different strategy, using copybreak so that we provide nice
skbs to upper stack (including the NET_SKB_PAD to avoid future head
reallocations in some paths)

With this patch, I no longer see packets drops or tcp collapses on
various tcp workload with a AX88772 adapter.
