Ilias Apalodimas 5c67bf0ec4 net: netsec: Use page_pool API
Use page_pool and it's DMA mapping capabilities for Rx buffers instead
of netdev/napi_alloc_frag()

Although this will result in a slight performance penalty on small sized
packets (~10%) the use of the API will allow to easily add XDP support.
The penalty won't be visible in network testing i.e ipef/netperf etc, it
only happens during raw packet drops.
Furthermore we intend to add recycling capabilities on the API
in the future. Once the recycling is added the performance penalty will
go away.
The only 'real' penalty is the slightly increased memory usage, since we
now allocate a page per packet instead of the amount of bytes we need +
skb metadata (difference is roughly 2kb per packet).
With a minimum of 4BG of RAM on the only SoC that has this NIC the
extra memory usage is negligible (a bit more on 64K pages)

config NET_VENDOR_SOCIONEXT
bool "Socionext ethernet drivers"
default y
---help---
Option to select ethernet drivers for Socionext platforms.
Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about Socionext devices. If you say Y, you will be asked
for your specific card in the following questions.
if NET_VENDOR_SOCIONEXT
config SNI_AVE
tristate "Socionext AVE ethernet support"
depends on (ARCH_UNIPHIER || COMPILE_TEST) && OF
depends on HAS_IOMEM
select MFD_SYSCON
select PHYLIB
---help---
Driver for gigabit ethernet MACs, called AVE, in the
Socionext UniPhier family.
config SNI_NETSEC
tristate "Socionext NETSEC ethernet support"
depends on (ARCH_SYNQUACER || COMPILE_TEST) && OF
select PHYLIB
select PAGE_POOL
select MII
---help---
Enable to add support for the SocioNext NetSec Gigabit Ethernet
controller + PHY, as found on the Synquacer SC2A11 SoC
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called netsec. If unsure, say N.
