Hey Lorenzo,
It's Rev0. why, do you have any info on the revisions?
Since it's probably the reason for the performance hit,
allocating full pages every time, I think your suggestion would improve the
performance and probably match it with the napi_alloc_frag path.
I'll give it a try when I have time.
You also mentioned HW-LRO, which makes me think we also need the second patch
if we want to allow HW-LRO to co-exists with XDP on NETSYS2/3 devices.
