This patch adds multi-buffer support for the i40e_driver. i40e_clean_rx_irq() is modified to collate all the buffers of a packet before calling the XDP program. xdp_buff is built for the first frag of the packet and subsequent frags are added to it. 'next_to_process' is incremented for all non-EOP frags while 'next_to_clean' stays at the first descriptor of the packet. XDP program is called only on receiving EOP frag. New functions are added for adding frags to xdp_buff and for post processing of the buffers once the xdp prog has run. For XDP_PASS this results in a skb with multiple fragments. i40e_build_skb() builds the skb around xdp buffer that already contains frags data. So i40e_add_rx_frag() helper function is now removed. Since fields before 'dataref' in skb_shared_info are cleared during napi_skb_build(), xdp_update_skb_shared_info() is called to set those. For i40e_construct_skb(), all the frags data needs to be copied from xdp_buffer's shared_skb_info to newly constructed skb's shared_skb_info. This also means 'skb' does not need to be preserved across i40e_napi_poll() calls and hence is removed from i40e_ring structure. Previously i40e_alloc_rx_buffers() was called for every 32 cleaned buffers. For multi-buffers this may not be optimal as there may be more cleaned buffers in each i40e_clean_rx_irq() call. So this is now called when at least half of the ring size has been cleaned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
