I don't think you can remove these. They're part of the protocol for
talking to the firmware.

Hi Dan,
thanks for your response.
struct cb_desc is used in conjunction with this line:
struct cb_desc *tcb_desc = (struct cb_desc *)(skb->cb + 8);
from skbuff.h:
/*
* This is the control buffer. It is free to use for every
* layer. Please put your private variables there. If you
* want to keep them across layers you have to do a skb_clone()
* first. This is owned by whoever has the skb queued ATM.
*/
char cb[48] __aligned(8);
I think it has to do with the sku buffer and can be changed.
Here a test:

Performance as expected OK.
Please reconsider your decision?
