mvpp2: prefetch frame header
When receiving traffic, eth_type_trans() is high up on the perf top list, because it's the first function which access the packet data. Move the DMA unmap a bit higher, and put a prefetch just after it, so we have more time to load the data into the cache. The packet rate increase is about 14% with a tc drop test: 1620 => 1853 kpps Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <mcroce@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
