efx_start_datapath() asserts that we can fit 2 RX scatter buffers plus
a software structure, each appropriately aligned, into a single page.
Where L1_CACHE_BYTES == 256 and PAGE_SIZE == 4096, which is the case
on s390, this assertion fails.
The current scatter buffer size is also not a multiple of 64 or 128,
which are more common cache line sizes. If we can make both the start
and end of a scatter buffer cache-aligned, this will reduce the need
for read-modify-write operations on inter- processor links.
Fix the alignment by reducing EFX_RX_USR_BUF_SIZE to 2048 - 256 ==
1792. (We could use 2048 - L1_CACHE_BYTES, but EFX_RX_USR_BUF_SIZE
also affects user-level networking where a larger amount of
housekeeping data may be needed. Although this version of the driver
does not support user-level networking, I prefer to keep scattering
behaviour consistent with the out-of-tree version.)
This still doesn't fix the s390 build because like most architectures
it has NET_IP_ALIGN == 2. When NET_IP_ALIGN != 0 we cannot achieve
cache line alignment at either the start or end of a scatter buffer,
so there is actually no point in padding the buffers to a multiple of
the cache line size. All we need is 4-byte alignment of the network
header, so do that.
Adjust the assertions accordingly.
