    Subject[PATCH net-next V2 00/17] hv_netvsc: Eliminate the additional head room
    Date
    In an attempt to avoid having to allocate memory on the send path, the netvsc
    driver was requesting additional head room so that both rndis header and the
    netvsc packet (the state that had to persist) could be placed in the skb.
    Since the amount of head room requested was exceeding the default head room
    as set in LL_MAX_HEADER, we were forcing a reallocation of skb.

    With this patch-set, I have reduced the size of the netvsc packet to less
    than 20 bytes and with this reduction we don't need to ask for any additional
    headroom. We place the rndis header in the skb head room and we place the
    netvsc packet in control buffer area in the skb.

    V2: - Addressed review comments:
    - Eliminated more fields from netvsc packet structure.

    hv_netvsc: Resize some of the variables in hv_netvsc_packet
    hv_netvsc: Rearrange the hv_negtvsc_packet to be space efficient
    hv_netvsc: Eliminate the channel field in hv_netvsc_packet structure
    hv_netvsc: Eliminate rndis_msg pointer from hv_netvsc_packet
    structure
    hv_netvsc: Eliminatte the data field from struct hv_netvsc_packet
    hv_netvsc: Eliminate send_completion from struct hv_netvsc_packet
    hv_netvsc: Eliminate send_completion_ctx from struct hv_netvsc_packet
    hv_netvsc: Don't ask for additional head room in the skb
    hv_netvsc: Eliminate page_buf from struct hv_netvsc_packet
