Does your recommendation is the same as Roland's before? I hope it's not,
otherwise, it doesn't work. Since the first buffer is GRH + IPoIB HEAD =
44 bytes not 40 bytes. If we put all skb data in the first frag, then the
IP header is not aligned to 16 bytes. I am copying Roland's comments
regarding this approach:
---------
However, I now realize that my earlier idea of allocating a scratch
buffer for the GRH and just allocating a 4096 byte skb doesn't work,
because the skb_shinfo ends up being allocated along with the buffer,
so trying to allocate a 4096-byte skb will bloat the data past a
single page, which is what we're trying to avoid.
So how about the following? When using a UD MTU of 4096 with a page
size of 4096, allocate an skb of size 44 for the GRH and ethertype,
and then allocate a single page for the fragment list. This means
that the IP packet will start nicely 16-byte aligned for free, and all
the bookkeeping is very simple.
