nfp: copy only the relevant part of the TX descriptor for frags
Chained descriptors for fragments need to duplicate all the descriptor fields of the skb head, so we copy the descriptor and then modify the relevant fields. This is wasteful, because the top half of the descriptor will get overwritten entirely while the bottom half is not modified at all. Copy only the bottom half. This saves us 0.3% of CPU in a GSO test. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Dirk van der Merwe <dirk.vandermerwe@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
