Subject[PATCH net-next 1/2] mvpp2: prefetch right address
Date
From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

In the RX buffer, the received data starts after a headroom used to
align the IP header and to allow prepending headers efficiently.
The prefetch() should take this into account, and prefetch from
the very start of the received data.

We can see that ether_addr_equal_64bits(), which is the first function
to access the data, drops from the top of the perf top output.

prefetch(data):

Overhead Shared Object Symbol
11.64% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans

prefetch(data + MVPP2_MH_SIZE + MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM):

Overhead Shared Object Symbol
13.42% [kernel] [k] build_skb
10.35% [mvpp2] [k] mvpp2_rx
9.35% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
8.24% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free
7.97% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive
7.68% [kernel] [k] page_pool_put_page
7.32% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc
7.09% [mvpp2] [k] mvpp2_bm_pool_put
3.36% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans

Also, move the eth_type_trans() call a bit down, to give the RAM more
time to prefetch the data.
