xen-netback: Grant copy the header instead of map and memcpy An old inefficiency of the TX path that we are grant mapping the first slot, and then copy the header part to the linear area. Instead, doing a grant copy for that header straight on is more reasonable. Especially because there are ongoing efforts to make Xen avoiding TLB flush after unmap when the page were not touched in Dom0. In the original way the memcpy ruined that. The key changes: - the vif has a tx_copy_ops array again - xenvif_tx_build_gops sets up the grant copy operations - we don't have to figure out whether the header and first frag are on the same grant mapped page or not Note, we only grant copy PKT_PROT_LEN bytes from the first slot, the rest (if any) will be on the first frag, which is grant mapped. If the first slot is smaller than PKT_PROT_LEN, then we grant copy that, and later __pskb_pull_tail will pull more from the frags (if any) Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@citrix.com> Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
