    ixgbe: Minor refactor of RSC · 4c1975d7
    Alexander Duyck authored
    This change addresses several issue.
    
    First I had left the use of the next and prev skb pointers floating around
    in the code and they were overdue to be pulled since I had rewritten the
    RSC code in the out-of-tree driver some time ago to address issues brought
    up by David Miller in regards to this.
    
    I am also now defaulting to always leaving the first buffer unmapped on any
    packet and then unmapping it after we read the EOP descriptor.  This allows
    a simplification of the path with less branching.
    
    Instead of counting packets received the code was changed some time ago to
    track the number of buffers received.  This leads to inaccurate counting
    when you compare numbers of packets received by the hardware versus what is
    tracked by the software.  To correct this I am revising things so that the
    append_cnt value for RSC accurately tracks the number of frames received.
