[PATCH 07/13] net: thunderx: Remove unnecessary rcv buffer start address management

From: Sunil Goutham
Date: Mon Nov 30 2015 - 13:21:03 EST


From: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since we have moved on to using allocated pages to carve receive
buffers instead of netdev_alloc_skb() there is no need to store
any pointers for later retrieval. Earlier we had to store
skb and skb->data pointers which later are used to handover
received packet to network stack.

This will avoid an unnecessary cache miss as well.
