5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7354a426e063e108c0a3590f13abc77573172576 ] By profiling, discovered that ena device driver allocates skb by build_skb() and frees by napi_skb_cache_put(). Because the driver does not use napi skb cache in allocation path, napi skb cache is periodically filled and flushed. This is waste of napi skb cache. As ena_alloc_skb() is called only in napi, Use napi_build_skb() and napi_alloc_skb() when allocating skb. This patch was tested on aws a1.metal instance.
