On some ARM64 platforms with 4K PAGE_SIZE, page_pool fragment
allocation in the RX refill path can cause 15-20% throughput
regression under high connection counts (>16 TCP streams).
Add an ethtool private flag "full-page-rx" that allows the user to
force one RX buffer per page, bypassing the page_pool fragment path.
This restores line-rate (180+ Gbps) performance on affected platforms.
Usage:
ethtool --set-priv-flags eth0 full-page-rx on
There is no behavioral change by default. The flag must be explicitly
enabled by the user or udev rule.
The existing single-buffer-per-page logic for XDP and jumbo frames is
consolidated into a new helper mana_use_single_rxbuf_per_page() which
is now the single decision point for both the automatic and
user-controlled paths.
