The info array is used to store a pointer to the dma address of the header and to the frag page. However, this array is not really required: - The frag page can be calculated from the header index frag page index = header index / headers per page. - The dma address can be calculated through a formula: dma page address + header offset. This series gets rid of the info array and uses the above formulas instead. The current_page_index was used in conjunction with the info array to store page fragment indices. This variable is dropped as well. There was no performance regression observed.

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 reStructuredText 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.
