mvpp2: prefetch right address
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.
