The next commit will remove the DMA address from the struct currently called mlx5e_dma_info, because the same value can be retrieved with page_pool_get_dma_addr(page) in almost all cases, with the notable exception of SHAMPO (HW GRO implementation) that modifies this address on the fly, after the initial allocation. To keep the SHAMPO logic intact, struct mlx5e_dma_info remains in the SHAMPO code, consisting of addr and page (XSK is not compatible with SHAMPO). The struct used in all other places is renamed to mlx5e_alloc_unit, allowing the next commit to remove the addr field without affecting SHAMPO. The new name means "allocation unit", and it's more appropriate after the field with the DMA address gets removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
