[PATCH 1/5] scsi: fnic: Use mempool for receive frames
From: Karan Tilak Kumar
Date: Tue Feb 17 2026 - 17:42:19 EST
The receive frames are constantly replenished so we should rather
use a mempool here.
fip_frame_queue is an rxq. De-alloc it in fnic_free_rxq.
Incorporate review comments from Hannes:
Modify fnic_free_txq to have same arguments as fnic_free_rxq
