Tariq Toukan 619a8f2a42 net/mlx5e: Use linear SKB in Striding RQ
Current Striding RQ HW feature utilizes the RX buffers so that
there is no wasted room between the strides. This maximises
the memory utilization.
This prevents the use of build_skb() (which requires headroom
and tailroom), and demands to memcpy the packets headers into
the skb linear part.

In this patch, whenever a set of conditions holds, we apply
an RQ configuration that allows combining the use of linear SKB
on top of a Striding RQ.

To use build_skb() with Striding RQ, the following must hold:
1. packet does not cross a page boundary.
2. there is enough headroom and tailroom surrounding the packet.

We can satisfy 1 and 2 by configuring:
	stride size = MTU + headroom + tailoom.

This is possible only when:
a. (MTU - headroom - tailoom) does not exceed PAGE_SIZE.
b. HW LRO is turned off.

Using linear SKB has many advantages:
- Saves a memcpy of the headers.
- No page-boundary checks in datapath.
- No filler CQEs.
- Significantly smaller CQ.
- SKB data continuously resides in linear part, and not split to
  small amount (linear part) and large amount (fragment).
  This saves datapath cycles in driver and improves utilization
  of SKB fragments in GRO.
- The fragments of a resulting GRO SKB follow the IP forwarding
  assumption of equal-size fragments.

Some implementation details:
HW writes the packets to the beginning of a stride,
i.e. does not keep headroom. To overcome this we make sure we can
extend backwards and use the last bytes of stride i-1.
Extra care is needed for stride 0 as it has no preceding stride.
We make sure headroom bytes are available by shifting the buffer
pointer passed to HW by headroom bytes.

This configuration now becomes default, whenever capable.
Of course, this implies turning LRO off.

Performance testing:
ConnectX-5, single core, single RX ring, default MTU.

UDP packet rate, early drop in TC layer:

--------------------------------------------
| pkt size | before    | after     | ratio |
--------------------------------------------
| 1500byte | 4.65 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.28x |
|  500byte | 5.23 Mpps | 5.97 Mpps | 1.14x |
|   64byte | 5.94 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.00x |
--------------------------------------------

TCP streams: ~20% gain
