      This field is never big enough to warrant 16-bitness.
      
      8-bit accesses enjoy shorted encoding on i386/x86_64 than 16-bit

      gso: Support frag_list splitting with head_frag · eaffadbb
      Ilan Tayari 提交于
      A driver may use build_skb() for received packets.
      These SKBs then have a head_frag.
      
      Since commit d7e8883c ("net: make GRO aware of
      skb->head_frag"), GRO may build frag_list SKBs out of
      head_frag received SKBs.
      In such a case, the chained SKBs end up with a head_frag.
      
      Commit 07b26c94 ("gso: Support partial splitting at
      the frag_list pointer") adds partial segmentation of frag_list
      SKB chains into individual SKBs.
      However, this is not done if the chained SKBs have any
      linear part, because the device may not be able to DMA
      the private linear buffer.
      
      A chained frag_list SKB with head_frag is wrongfully
      detected in this case as having a private linear part
      and thus falls back to software GSO, while in fact the
      linear part is backed by a DMA page just like any other frag.
      
      This causes low performance when forwarding those packets
      that were built with build_skb()
      
      Allow partial segmentation at the frag_list pointer for
      chained SKBs with head_frag.
      
      Note that such SKBs can only be created by GRO, when applied
      to received packets with head_frag.
      Also note that this change only affects the data path that
      performs the partial segmentation at frag_list pointer, and
      not any of the other more common data paths.
