[PATCH v5 net-next 09/11] skbuff: allow to optionally use NAPI cache from __alloc_skb()

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Thu Feb 11 2021 - 14:00:10 EST


Reuse the old and forgotten SKB_ALLOC_NAPI to add an option to get
an skbuff_head from the NAPI cache instead of inplace allocation
inside __alloc_skb().
This implies that the function is called from softirq or BH-off
context, not for allocating a clone or from a distant node.
