aquantia: Remove the build_skb path
When performing IPv6 forwarding, there is an expectation that SKBs will have some headroom. When forwarding a packet from the aquantia driver, this does not always happen, triggering a kernel warning. aq_ring.c has this code (edited slightly for brevity): if (buff->is_eop && buff->len <= AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX - AQ_SKB_ALIGN) { skb = build_skb(aq_buf_vaddr(&buff->rxdata), AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX); } else { skb = napi_alloc_skb(napi, AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE); There is a significant difference between the SKB produced by these 2 code paths. When napi_alloc_skb creates an SKB, there is a certain amount of headroom reserved. However, this is not done in the build_skb codepath. As the hardware buffer that build_skb is built around does not handle the presence of the SKB header, this code path is being removed and the napi_alloc_skb path will always be used. This code path does have to copy the packet header into the SKB, but it adds the packet data as a frag.
