All callers of build_skb() (*) in bnxt are in NAPI context.
The budget checking is somewhat convoluted because in the shared
completion queue cases Rx packets are discarded by netpoll
by forcing an error (E). But that happens before skb allocation.
Only a call chain starting at __bnxt_poll_work() can lead to
an skb allocation and it checks budget (b).
* bnxt_rx_multi_page_skb
* bnxt_rx_skb
` bp->rx_skb_func
* bnxt_tpa_end
` bnxt_rx_pkt
E bnxt_force_rx_discard
E bnxt_poll_nitroa0
b __bnxt_poll_work
Use napi_build_skb() to take advantage of the skb cache.
In iperf tests with HW-GRO enabled it barely makes a difference
but in cases where HW-GRO is not as effective (or disabled) it
can give even a >10% boost (20.7Gbps -> 23.1Gbps).

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.
